ABSTRACTBacterial cellulose (BC) has a range of structural and physicochemical properties that make it a particularly useful material for the culture of bacteria. We studied the growth of 14 genera of bacteria on BC substrates produced byAcetobacter xylinumand compared the results to growth on the commercially available biopolymers agar, gellan, and xanthan. We demonstrate that BC produces rates of bacterial cell growth that typically exceed those on the commercial biopolymers and yields cultures with higher titers of cells at stationary phase. The morphology of the cells did not change during growth on BC. The rates of nutrient diffusion in BC being higher than those in other biopolymers is likely a primary factor that leads to higher growth rates. Collectively, our results suggest that the use of BC may open new avenues in microbiology by facilitating bacterial cell culture and isolation.

A novel bacterial cellulose (BC) composite (carboxymethylated-bacterial cellulose, CM-BC) was synthesized by Acetobacter xylinum by adding water-soluble carboxymethylated cellulose (CMC) in the culture medium. FTIR results showed that CM-BC is obtained by the incorporation of CMC in the network of BC. Water-holding capacity and water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) of CM-BC and BC are determined. The WVTR of CM-BC is comparable to that of BC, but the water-holding capacity of CM-BC is improved compared with BC. Tensile strengths measurement results showed that the fracture stress of CM-BC is higher than that of BC, indicating that CM-BC have more potential wound dressing applications than BC.
