Bacterial cellulose and bacterial cellulose–chitosan membranes for wound dressing applications
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013Bacterial cellulose (BC) and bacterial cellulose-chitosan (BC-Ch) membranes were successfully produced in large scale. BC was synthesized by Acetobacter xylinum. BC-Ch was prepared by immersing BC in chitosan followed by freeze-drying. The surface morphology of BC and BC-Ch membranes were examined by a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Designing with bacterial cellulose
Proceedings of the FabLearn 2020 - 9th Annual Conference on Maker Education, 2020One of the main challenges for Plan Ceibal makerspace program (Ceilab) is the search of new investigation lines applied to the national education system in Uruguay. This paper presents the results of educational and maker experiences across the search of new sustainable materials based on bacterial cellulose production.

The Characterizations of Bacterial Cellulose and Dialdehyde Celluloses from Bacterial Cellulose
Key Engineering Materials, 2007The characteristics and properties of bacterial cellulose and dialdehyde celluloses from bacterial cellulose were studied by XRD, TG-IR and adsorption capacity testing. The crystal cell parameters of BC were calculated and approximated to that of monocline crystal cell model. The XRD profiles showed that the crystallinity degree of BC was 66%, and that

Biogenesis of Bacterial Cellulose
Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 1991Cellulose is the most abundant biological polymer on Earth. It is found in wood and cotton, and forms the basic structural foundation of the cell wall of almost all eukaryotic plants. Bacteria are known to secrete cellulose as part of their metabolism of glucose and other sugars. The focus of this review is upon bacterial cellulose synthesis.

Bacterial cellulose and bacterial cellulose-vaccarin membranes for wound healing
Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2016Bacterial cellulose (BC) and bacterial cellulose-vaccarin (BC-Vac) membranes were successfully produced in large scale. BC was synthesized by Gluconacetobacter xylinum. BC-Vac membranes were prepared by immersing BC in vaccarin solution. The surface morphologies of BC and BC-Vac membranes were examined by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an ...

Bacterial cellulose, synthesized by bacteria, is one of the most highly pure cellulose sources. It has gained a great attention due to its unique properties. With molecular similarity to cellulose derived from plants, bacterial cellulose can be modified based on diverse techniques established for the plant-derived cellulose.

Studies on the hemocompatibility of bacterial cellulose
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2011AbstractAmong the strategies to improve a material's hemocompatibility, pre‐coating with the tripeptide Arg‐Gly‐Asp (RGD) is used to favor endothelialization thus lowering thrombogenicity. The blood compatibility of native and RGD‐modified bacterial cellulose (BC) was studied in this work for the first time.

Studies on the biocompatibility of bacterial cellulose
Journal of Bioactive and Compatible Polymers, 2012Bacterial cellulose was functionalized with a chimeric protein containing a cellulose-binding module and the adhesion peptide Arg-Gly-Asp. Small-diameter bacterial cellulose membranes were produced and subcutaneously implanted in sheep for 1–32 weeks. The implants triggered a biological response similar to other high surface-to-volume implants.

Bacterial Cellulose Scaffolds and Cellulose Nanowhiskers for Tissue Engineering
Nanomedicine, 2013As the principle structural polysaccharide in plants, cellulose has been extensively characterized over many decades. In recent years, however, exciting new cellulosic materials have been developed with nanoscale fibrillar structures that have particularly promising applications in the growing field of tissue engineering. The majority of recent studies
