An increase in other sugars like glucose, galactose, mannan, ribose, as well as galacturonic acid could also be documented for the mats grown with 0,5% (w/v) XG (Fig. 2).
Something that we also successfully tested was [washing](/duesseldorf/experiments) our BC mat with a 1% (w/v) NaOH solution as suggested by literature sources [El-Gendi et al., 2022 [^14]]. There we found that the NaOH helped in decoloring the mat, which led us to apply the method for other experiments that followed.
Additionally, we performed a test intending to find the perfect [amount of media](duesseldorf/experiments) for cultivation. The results from this were that mats seemed to grow best with the container filled to 33% with YPD media, with the rest being air.

The second time we went to HSN, we prepared BC mats, grown with different amounts of xyloglucan, to evaluate possible property changes (Figure 4). In addition, we tested the effects of different washing and drying methods on different textiles (Fig. 5 & 6).
