Cellulose production of aerobic bacteria with its very unique physiochemical properties attracted many researchers. The biosynthetic of Bacterial Cellulose (BC) was produced by low-cost media recently. BC has been used as biomaterials and food ingredient these days. Moreover, the capacity of BC composite gives the numerous application opportunities in other fields. Bacterial Cellulose (BC) development is differentiated from suspension planktonic culture by their Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS), down-regulation of growth rate and up-down the expression of genes. The attachment of microorganisms is highly dependent on their cell membrane structures and growth medium. This is a very complicated phenomenon that optimal conditions defined the specific architecture. This architecture is made of microbial cells and EPS. Cell growth and cell communication mechanisms effect biofilm development and detachment. Understandings of development and architecture mechanisms and control strategies have a great impact on the management of BC formation with beneficial microorganisms. This mini-review paper presents the overview of outstanding findings from isolating and characterizing the diversity of bacteria to BC's future application, from food to biosensor products. The review would help future researchers in the sustainable production of BC, applications advantages and opportunities in food industry, biomaterial and biomedicine.

Abstract Bacterial cellulose (BC)decomposes easily and the carbon residue rate is low. These factors critically restrict its application in fabricating cellulosic carbon materials. Therefore, in this paper, a simple and facile method to improve the BC carbon yield is proposed based on the stretching orientation of BC. By controlling the degree of BC deformation, the orientation and crystallinity of the BC can be adjusted, thereby sensitively affecting the graphitization degree and carbon yield of carbonized BC. Samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LNMR). The results indicated that when the pre-stretched strain was 40%, the crystallinity and graphitization degree of BC improved, and the carbon yield increased significantly in comparison to that of untreated BC. Thus, a low-cost, facile, and environmentally friendly method of increasing the carbon yield of BC was developed in this study.

Abstract High-performance bioartificial muscles with low-cost, large bending deformation, low actuation voltage, and fast response time have drawn extensive attention as the development of human-friendly electronics in recent years. Here, we report a high-performance ionic bioartificial muscle based on the bacterial cellulose (BC)/ionic liquid (IL)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) nanocomposite membrane and PEDOT:PSS electrode. The developed ionic actuator exhibits excellent electro-chemo-mechanical properties, which are ascribed to its high ionic conductivity, large specific capacitance, and ionically crosslinked structure resulting from the strong ionic interaction and physical crosslinking among BC, IL, and MWCNT. In particular, the proposed BC-IL-MWCNT (0.10 wt%) nanocomposite exhibited significant increments of Young's modulus up to 75% and specific capacitance up to 77%, leading to 2.5 times larger bending deformation than that of the BC-IL actuator. More interestingly, bioinspired applications containing artificial soft robotic finger and grapple robot were successfully demonstrated based on high-performance BC-IL-MWCNT actuator with excellent sensitivity and controllability. Thus, the newly proposed BC-IL-MWCNT bioartificial muscle will offer a viable pathway for developing next-generation artificial muscles, soft robotics, wearable electronic products, flexible tactile devices, and biomedical instruments.

Fruits and vegetables have the highest wastage rates of 45% of any food. One of the recent research areas is food waste valorization as a potential alternative to the disposal of a wide range of organic waste using microorganisms as one of the strategies known as microbial valorization. Bacterial cellulose is best known microbial valorization product because of its low cost, environmentally friendly nature, renewability, nanoscale dimensions, biocompatibility and extremely high hydrophilicity. Therefore, present study focuses on the isolation, characterization and identification of cellulose producing bacteria from decaying apple waste. Cellulose producers were isolated from decaying apple waste. The bacterial isolates obtained were identified through the morphological biochemical, physiological and molecular identification. The bacterial isolates exhibited potential remediation options to biovalorize decaying fruit waste by producing value added products as well as in safe disposal of waste.

Abstract Bacterial cellulose (BC) has profound applications in different sectors of biotechnology due to its unique properties preferring it about plant cellulose. Although this polymer is extremely important in various applications, many problems still hinder the sustainable production in terms of increasing productivity and low-cost production. In order to overcome these problems, this study will focuses on the continuous production of cellulose using immobilized Glucanobacter xylinum cells onto Sugar Cane Bagasse (SCB) and Ca-alginate beads. Comparatively, adsorption of Glucanobacter xylinum cells to the cavum of stalk cells of SCB could be efficiently stable while, entrapment of cells onto Ca-alginate has drawback observed by the rapid disruption and instability of the beads in the Potato Peel Waste (PPW) culture medium. Our findings demonstrate that a combination between alternative low-cost medium with continuous production mode by immobilization onto inexpensive natural polymer can promote a sustainable bioprocess and reduction the production cost.
