Komagataeibacter cocois sp. nov., a novel cellulose-producing strain isolated from coconut milk
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2018 Phylogenetic analysis was performed on a cellulose-producing strain, designated WE7T, isolated from contaminated coconut milk. The analysis utilized nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences, as well as concatenated partial sequences of the housekeeping genes dnaK, groEL and rpoB, and allowed identification of the strain as belonging to the genus ...

Optimization of Bacterial Cellulose Production from Waste Figs by Komagataeibacter xylinus
FermentationThis study aimed to use waste figs as an alternative substrate for bacterial cellulose (BC) production by Komagataeibacter xylinus and optimize the identified process parameters to maximize the concentration of BC. Among the nutrients screened by Plackett–Burman (PB) design, yeast extract was found to be significant in BC production.
