2. Biosynthesis and Functionalization of Bacterial Cellulose Membranes with Cerium Nitrate and Silver Nanoparticles
This work aimed to synthesize bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes functionalized with Ce(NO3)3 and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) heat-treated in oven and autoclave. The AgNPs were characterized by TEM and the membranes were characterized by their rehydration capacity, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Dispersive Energy Spectro

3. Microarchitecture and Radiological Flow Pattern of Cocoon-like Nanocellulose Hydrogels
Abstract This work investigates fluid mechanics and structural properties inside bacterial cellulose hydrogels in from of macroscopic anisotropic ellipsoid body cocoon-like 3D scaffolds. The hydrogels were evaluated by injections of iopamidol, a radiopaque medium used in medical radiological procedures. Results showed that hydromechanical behavior of BC hydr

4. Exopolysaccharide production from Bacillus velezensis KY471306 using statistical experimental design
Abstract Exopolysaccharide (EPS) biopolymers produced by microorganisms play a crucial role in the environment such as health and bio-nanotechnology sectors, gelling agents in food and cosmetic industries in addition to bio-flocculants in the environmental sector as they are degradable, nontoxic. This study focuses on the improvement of EPS production throug

5. Inducible cellulase production from an organic solvent tolerant Bacillus sp. SV1 and evolutionary divergence of endoglucanase in different species of the genus Bacillus
Abstract Bacteria are important sources of cellulases with various industrial and biotechnological applications. In view of this, a non-hemolytic bacterial strain, tolerant to various environmental pollutants (heavy metals and organic solvents), showing high cellulolytic index (7.89) was isolated from cattle shed soil and identified as Bacillus sp. SV1 (99.2

6. BIOCONVERSION OF CELLULOSE INTO HYDROGEN, BIOGAS AND ORGANIC ACIDS USING MICROBIAL CONSORTIUM FROM A PULP AND PAPER MILL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
This study evaluated the potential of a microbial consortium collected from a pulp and paper mill wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for converting cellulose to hydrogen, biogas and organic acids. Fermentation tests were conducted in batch reactors fed with different concentrations of cellulose as substrate: (C1) 2.0 g L -1; (C2) 5.0 g L -1 and (C3) 10.0 g L

7. Bacterial Cellulose Production by Komagataeibacter hansenii ATCC 23769 Using Sisal Juice - An Agroindustry Waste
ABSTRACT In this study, we have optimized production of bacterial cellulose (BC) by Komagataeibacter hansenii ATCC 23769 in a static cultivation using sisal juice, an agroindustrial residue, as substrate. Optimization of fermentation parameters has been carried out using the one-variable-at-a-time method. Effect of initial sugar concentration, pH, nitrogen s

10. Bacterial Cellulose Membranes as a Potential Drug Delivery System for Photodynamic Therapy of Skin Cancer
The development of drug delivery systems for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly demanded due to the hydrophobicity presented by most of photosensitizers molecules. Bacterial cellulose (BC), a highly pure cellulose produced by bacteria, possesses the essential features for applications in drug delivery systems, such as large surface area and excellent

11. FILMES BIODEGRADÁVEIS DE AMIDO DE MANDIOCA, PULULANA E CELULOSE BACTERIANA
The largest consumption of plastics in the world is referred to the synthetic polymers, which are not biodegradable and have a non-renewable source, generating a large environmental impact, especially in urban centers. As a result, in the last two decades several polymers obtained from renewable sources (biopolymers) have been studied as potential raw materi

12. Bacterial Cellulose/Collagen Hydrogel for Wound Healing
This study compares a wound dressing based on bacterial cellulose/collagen (BC/COL) hydrogel in rat dorsum with commercial collagenase ointment and untreated wound. The hydrogel was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Fourier transformed - Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). According
