Ultrasound‐assisted swelling of bacterial cellulose [PDF]

Engineering in Life Sciences, 2017
AbstractBacterial cellulose (BC) was obtained by static cultivation using commercial BC gel from scoby. BC membranes (oven dried and freeze‐dried) were swelled with 8% NaOH, in the absence and in the presence of ultrasound (US), for 30, 60, and 90 min. The influence of swelling conditions on both physico‐chemical properties and molecules entrapment was

Biocompatibility of Bacterial Cellulose Based Biomaterials [PDF]

Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2012
Some bacteria can synthesize cellulose when they are cultivated under adequate conditions. These bacteria produce a mat of cellulose on the top of the culture medium, which is formed by a three-dimensional coherent network of pure cellulose nanofibers.
