Improved bacterial nanocellulose production from glucose without the loss of quality by evaluating thirteen agitator configurations at low speed

Microbial Biotechnology, 2019
Summary Thirteen agitator configurations were investigated at low speed in stirred‐tank reactors (STRs) to determine if improved crude bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) productivity can be achieved from glucose‐based media while maintaining high BNC quality ...

Improvement of Adsorption Capacity by Refined Encapsulating Method of Activated Carbon into the Hollow-Type Spherical Bacterial Cellulose Gels for Oral Absorbent

Gels
To reduce the risk of adsorption of granular activated carbon (AC) in the gastrointestinal tract, we successfully prepared a hollow-type spherical bacterial cellulose gel encapsulated with AC (ACEG) and evaluated its pH tolerance and adsorption capacity.

Impact of Komagataeibacter xylinus-derived bacterial nanocellulose on tetrazolium salt viability assays for cytotoxicity testing

Cellulose
Abstract The evaluation of biomaterial compatibility often relies on viability assays using tetrazolium salts, such as WST-8, to assess cytotoxicity. However, potential interference by bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) with these assays may compromise the accuracy of biocompatibility assessments. In this study, we examined the interference of BNC
