has gloss | eng: The microfibril is a very fine fibril, or fiber-like strand, consisting of glycoproteins and cellulose. It is usually, but not always, used as a general term in describing the structure of protein fiber, examples are hair and sperm tail. Its most frequently observed structural pattern is 9+2 pattern in which two central protofibrils are surrounded by nine others. Cellulose inside plants is one of the examples of non-protein compounds that are using this term with the same purpose. Cellulose microfibrils are laid down in the inner surface of the primary cell wall. As the cell absorbs water, its volume increases and the existing microfibrils separate and new ones are formed to help increase cell strength. |

has gloss | deu: Mikrofibrillen (selten auch Makrofibrillen) dienen vor allem zum Aufbau der Zellwand. Sie bestehen aus rund 20 gebündelten Elementarfibrillen, welche wiederum aus circa 50 durch Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen aneinander gelagerten Cellulosefäden bestehen. Die Mikrofibrillen sind untereinander wieder verflochten. |

has gloss | swe: Mikrofibriller ger stadga åt växternas cellväggar. Cellulosamolekylens raka konformation stabiliseras genom vätebindningar till sina grannar. Flera sådana skikt på varandra utgör en mikrofibrill, ca 10-20 nm i bredd. Mikrofibriller kan betrakas via mikroskop och de är olösliga i vatten. Mikrofibriller hålls ihop av bland annat hemicellulosor och pektinämnen. |
