BACTERIAL CELLULOSE: OPTIMIZED PRODUCTION FROM ACETOBACTER XYLINUM, RHIZOBIUM AND PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA AND THEIR COMPARATIVE STUDY.
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Cellulose is an organic compound produced mainly in plants. Bacterial, or microbial, cellulose has different properties from plant cellulose and is characterized by high purity, strength, foldability and increased water holding ability. By controlling synthesis methods, the resulting microbial cellulose can be tailored to have specific desirable properties. With advances in the ability to synthesize and characterize bacterial cellulose, the material is being used for a wide variety of commercial applications including textiles, cosmetics, and food products, as well as medical applications. The objective of the paper is to successfully isolate cellulose from bacteria and study and analyze its characteristics for optimized growth and utilize it to purify waste water obtained from the sewage line, sugar industry effluents and paper industry white water in order to grow the cellulose in natural media and utilize the cellulose in fields like textiles or biomedicine.
