Improved production of bacterial cellulose by Komagataeibacter europaeus employing fruit extract as carbon source.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial cellulose (BC) has attracted worldwide attention owing to its tremendous properties and versatile applications. BC has huge market demand, however; its production is still limited hence important to explore the economically and technically feasible bioprocess for its improved production. The current study is based on improving the bioprocess for BC production employing Komagataeibacter europeaus 14148. Physico-chemical parameters have been optimized e.g., initial pH, incubation temperature, incubation period, inoculum size, and carbon source for maximum BC production. The study employed crude and/or a defined carbon source in the production medium. Hestrin and Schramm (HS) medium was used for BC production with initial pH 5.5 at 30 °C after 7 days of incubation unde
