Improvement production of bacterial cellulose by semi-continuous process in molasses medium

Production and characterization of bacterial cellulose by Leifsonia sp. CBNU-EW3 isolated from the earthworm, Eisenia fetida

“…5B). Cakar et al [35] reported that BC production in HS medium for 15 days tends to result in a light fibril structure, consistent with our findings. They also reported that BC fibrils generated in this way have a web-like structure due to the relatively longer incubation time.…”

“…With respect to the nitrogen source, yeast extract was replaced with several organic and inorganic sources, namely, peptone, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, di-ammonium phosphate, ammonium chloride, ammonium sulphate, sodium nitrate, urea, ammonia, ammonium ferrous sulfate, and monosodium glutamate, all at a final concentration of 5 g/L. Different pH (3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0), temperature (20,25,30,35, and 40°C) and incubation times (1 ~ 15 days) were also studied.…”

Bacterial cellulose in the field of wound healing and regenerative medicine of skin: recent trends and future prospectives

“…Bacteria occur inactive due to insufficient amount of oxygen present in culture medium [41]. Semicontinuous process in static condition is recommended at industrial scale as it manages to increase BC productivity compared to continuous process [42]. Unfortunately, most of cellulose used in commercial purpose is still generated through agitated fermentation [8] as so in continuous dynamic process.…”

“…The researchers are trying to propose novel sources for carbon supply for BC production. Their studies focus on agriculture waste and industrial by-product as potential medium [42][43][44]. Some of them have been proved to serve as beneficial sources of carbon for BC fabrication, such as beer waste [45], dry oil mill residue [44], grape skin [46] and maple syrup [47].…”

Production of Bacterial Cellulose From Industrial Wastes Using the Bacterial Strain Isolated From Kombucha.

“…Cellulose is the most wide spreaded homopolysaccharide in nature , it consists of repeating units of the monosaccharide D-glucose which are linked together by β (1,4) linkage. Most of the cellulose used in industrial applications is from plant origin (Brown, 2004), but the continuous extraction of cellulose from plants cause decreasing in the cultivable areas causing imbalance in the environment (Park et al, 2003).…”
