A compound body can be constructed, using secondary cell wall polymers of
prokaryotic microorganisms as bonding agent to anchor a monomolecular
lattice to a support, with or without functional groups attached to the
lattice. The lattice may be comprised of lipid or crystalline cell
surface layer proteins. The support is illustrated by a micro-filtration
membrane, a cell surface ultra-filtration membrane (SUM), and a micelle,
respectively.
