Bacterial cellulose production by Gluconacetobacter xylinus by employing altern...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is used in different fields as a biological material due to its unique properties. Despite there being many BC applications, there still remain many problems associated with bioprocess technology, such as increasing productivity and decreasing production cost. New technologies that use waste from the food industry as raw materials for culture media promote economic advantages because th...

Bacterial cellulose: long-term biocompatibility studies

The bacterial cellulose (BC) secreted by G. xylinus is a network of pure cellulose nanofibers, 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 membranes produced by two G. xylinus strains was analyzed through histolo...

Bacterial cellulose modified using recombinant proteins to improve neuronal and...

A wide variety of biomaterials and bioactive molecules have been applied as scaffolds in neuronal tissue engineering. However, creating devices that enhance the regeneration of nervous system injuries is still a challenge, due the difficulty in providing an appropriate environment for cell growth and differentiation and active stimulation of nerve regeneration. In recent years, bacterial cellulose (BC) has emer...

Surface modification of bacterial cellulose by nitrogen-containing plasma for i...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes were modified with nitrogen plasma in order to enhance cell affinity. The surface properties of the untreated and plasma modified BC (BCP) were analyzed through contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of the plasma treatment on the adhesion of microvascular (HMEC-1), neuroblast (N1E-115) and fibrobla...
