Scheme of the BC-starch Bottom-Up process: (a) Starch granules are in suspension in the culture medium; (b) After autoclaving, starch is partially gelatinized, amylose leaches and granules swell; (c) BC nanofibrils grow in presence of the partially gelatinized starch; (d) After hot-pressing, the nanocomposite shows interpenetrating networks of amylose and cellulose [23].
