Screening of High-Yield Strains of Bacterial Cellulose

Article Preview

Abstract:

We isolated 6 bacterial cellulose-production strains from the natural decay of a variety of different types of fruit with sucrose as carbon, peptone and yeast extract as nitrogen sources in the 30 º C, pH = 6.0 by enrichment culture and diluted coating. M7, one of the screened strains from mango, yield the highest yield bacterial cellulose of wet weight 66.01g/100ml (cellulose g/100ml medium) and the production of cellulose film thickness 1.65cm in course of subculturing.
