Applications of regenerated bacterial cellulose: a review

Cellulose
Whilst synthetic polymers have changed the world in many important ways, the negative impacts associated with these materials are becoming apparent in waste accumulation and microplastic pollution due to lack of biodegradability. Society has become aware

Genetic modification for enhancing bacterial cellulose production and its applications

Bioengineered, 2021
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is higher in demand due to its excellent properties which is attributed to its purity and nano size. Komagataeibacter xylinum is a model organism where BC production has been studied in detail because of its higher cellulose ...

Improving the affinity of fibroblasts for bacterial cellulose using carbohydrate-binding modules fused to RGD [PDF]

, 2010
The attachment of cells to biomedical materials can be improved by using adhesion sequences, such as Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), found in several extracellular matrix proteins. In this work, bifunctional recombinant proteins, with a Cellulose-Binding Module (CBM),

Extending an eco-evolutionary understanding of biofilm-formation at the air-liquid interface to community biofilms [PDF]

, 2020
Growing bacterial populations diversify to produce a number of competing lineages. In the Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 model system, Wrinkly Spreader mutant lineages, capable of colonising the air-liquid interface of static microcosms by biofilm ...

CELLULOSE NANOCRYSTALS FROM BACTERIAL CELLULOSE

Química Nova, 2015
Bacterial cellulose produced from Gluconacetobacter xilinus was used to produce cellulose nanocrystals by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. Hydrolysis was performed with 64% sulfuric acid at 50 oC with the hydrolysis time ranging between 5 and 90 min. The production of nanocrystals was observed to have size distributions that were dependent on hydrolysis times

Bacterial Cellulose: Long-Term Biocompatibility Studies [PDF]

Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 2012
The bacterial cellulose (BC) secreted by Gluconacetobacter xylinus is a network of pure cellulose nanofibres which has high crystallinity, wettability and mechanical strength. These characteristics make BC an excellent material for tissue-engineering constructs, noteworthy for artificial vascular grafts. In this work, the in vivo biocompatibility of BC

Causes and biophysical consequences of cellulose production by Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 at the air-liquid interface

, 2019
Cellulose over-producing wrinkly spreader mutants of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 have been the focus of much investigation, but conditions promoting the production of cellulose in ancestral SBW25, its effects and consequences have escaped in-depth ...
