<P>A biologically mediated, energy dissipative, reversible formation of fibrillar networks is reported. The process of gelation is linked to sucrose-fueled production of CO<SUB>2</SUB> by baker&rsquo;s yeast (<I>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</I>). Continuous fueling of the system is required to maintain the self-assembled fibrillar network.</P><BR><BR><P>Graphic Abstract</P><P>We report on new molecular hydrogels whose formation/disassembly is regulated by the presence of sucrose as fuel and CO<SUB>2</SUB> release as a dissipative process.<BR><IMG SRC='http://pubs.rsc.org/services/images/RSCpubs.ePlatform.Service.FreeContent.ImageService.svc/ImageService/image/GA?id=c6cc01183g'><BR></P>
