Acoustofluidics Powered Synthesis of Bacterial Cellulose.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial cellulose (BC) possesses unique structural and functional properties including good water retention capacity, biocompatibility, and chemical stability and is currently widely used across various industries. However, its production typically relies on prolonged cultivation at around 30 °C, and it remains a major challenge to synthesize it at ambient temperature due to reduced bacterial activity and limited oxygen availability. In this study, we explored the application of acoustic wave technology to enhance BC production under static cultivation at ambient temperature, as an alternative to the conventional 30 °C incubation method. Acoustic wave induced acoustic radiation, streaming, and localized heating effects improved bacterial growth, nutrient distribution, and oxygen availabi
