Abstract Bacterial cellulose (BC) white leathery pellicle produced from fermentation process of Acetobacter xylinum has many advantages such as high-water holding capacity, high porosity and high purity compared to plant cellulose. However, one of the BC application problems in industry is its low bio-cellulose productivity. The significant decrease of BC production can be effected by the reduction of pH culture due to production of by-product, gluconic acid during the static fermentation process. Therefore, the production of BC pellicle would be improved efficiently by controlling the pH of BC static cultivation. Bio-cellulose dry weight was at the greatest in acetates of 5.66 g/L while the dry weight derived from BC is 2.72 and 2.56 g/L in Control and Hestrin and Schramm (HS). The acetate buffered medium can be completed in a static fermentation method which can improve BC film production effectively.

In this study, the effects of Lavandula angustifolia, Tilia cordata and Rosa canina on cellulose production by Komagataeibacter intermedius strain were investigated. T. cordata was found as the most effective plant (10.64 g/L BC), under the following optimized conditions: 50 g/L plant amount, 8% lactose, 15% inoculum amount at pH=6.0. Total phenolic contents of L. angustifolia (55.42 mg/g), R. canina (16.54 mg/g) and T. cordata (60.03 mg/g), and total protein amounts of L. angustifolia (7.89 g/L), R. canina (3.54 g/L) and T. cordata (5.13 g/L) were analyzed. It has been established that phenolic and protein substances contribute significantly to cellulose formation. Physicochemical analysis showed that all the peaks obtained from FTIR analysis are distinguishable for BC and pellicles show high thermal stability. This research work is the first report on the usage of L. angustifolia, R. canina and T. cordata plants as low-cost substrates in BC production with high yields.

We investigated the optimization of bacterial cellulose (BC) production from sugar beet molasses by Gluconacetobacter xylinus NRRL B-759 in static culture. The optimization studies were performed using the central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM). The independent variables were the molasses concentration, inoculation ratio and culture volume. The dependent variable was BC production yield. From the optimization tests, based on the model developed by RSM-ANOVA, it was found that binary interactions between molasses concentration–culture volume and inoculation ratio–culture volume had the most significant influence on the responses. The optimum conditions were as follows: 78.932 g/L molasses concentration, 12.973% inoculation ratio, and 130.405 mL of culture volume. The obtained BC was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis. The characterization results obtained in the study revealed that the produced BC exhibited typical FTIR spectrum, elemental composition, and nanofiber structure.

Abstract Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) with a cellulose content of 39 wt% is a good promise to be an alternative lignocellulosic feedstock for cellulose production through environmentally friendly extraction process. Therefore, this research was aimed to establish an effective cellulose extraction scheme from OPEFB via introduction of ultrasonication in the alkaline pulping stage for process intensification. The process could greatly reduce alkali solvent usage for cellulose extraction, hence alleviating the environmental impact caused by chemical disposal. Firstly, four distinct pre-treatment techniques had been used to pre-treat the OPEFB powder, namely autoclave, organosolv, acid and microwave pre-treatments. Afterwards, the pre-treated samples further underwent ultrasonic-assisted alkali extraction to extract the cellulose content. It was observed that the autoclave pre-treated ultrasonic extract achieved the highest cellulose content of 77.14 wt% at optimum KOH concentration of 0.75 M, ultrasonic amplitude of 30%, duration of 30 min and temperature of 80 °C. Therefore, the introduction of ultrasonication in alkali extraction of cellulose was indeed an effective approach in establishing a green production scheme of cellulose from lignocellulose.

Abstract Bacterial Cellulose (BC) production is still considered expensive and challenging for industries. Herein, BC was produced through an acetic acid bacteria isolated from the kombucha consortium and an extract from acerola juice-industrial waste. The isolated bacterium was characterized through different assays (biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene) being identified as Komagataeibacter rhaeticus. BC production with static cultivation mode by the isolated strain was compared using traditional Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium and acerola waste (AC) (5% w/v). The kinetic behavior of BC production was slightly higher in the HS medium reaching 2.9 g/L after 12 days of fermentation, while 2.3 g/L in the AC medium. Minor differences were observed between crystallite size and d-spacing, highlighting BC produced by the AC medium with higher crystallinity of 93.9% and two-fold breaking stress resistance in comparison with the conventional medium, with high-temperature stability and economically feasible, promissory results for further application of this synthetized cellulose obtained from industrial residues.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is recognized as a multifaceted, versatile biomaterial with abundant applications. Groups of microorganisms such as bacteria are accountable for BC synthesis through static or agitated fermentation processes in the presence of competent media. In comparison to static cultivation, agitated cultivation provides the maximum yield of the BC. A pure cellulose BC can positively interact with hydrophilic or hydrophobic biopolymers while being used in the biomedical domain. From the last two decades, the reinforcement of biopolymer-based biocomposites and its applicability with BC have increased in the research field. The harmony of hydrophobic biopolymers can be reduced due to the high moisture content of BC in comparison to hydrophilic biopolymers. Mechanical properties are the important parameters not only in producing green composite but also in dealing with tissue engineering, medical implants, and biofilm. The wide requisition of BC in medical as well as industrial fields has warranted the scaling up of the production of BC with added economy. This review provides a detailed overview of the production and properties of BC and several parameters affecting the production of BC and its biocomposites, elucidating their antimicrobial and antibiofilm efficacy with an insight to highlight their therapeutic potential.
