PRODUCTION OF BACTERIAL CELLULOSE BY MICROBIOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS
The current study was investigated to evaluate the productivity of bacterial cellulose by the strain Gluconacetobacter hansenii GH-1/2008 (VKPM B-10547). The strain was cultivated in both static and shaking conditions. The highest bacterial cellulose yield was produced at 30°C for 7 days in the static medium, which contains 30 g saccharose, 1 g condensed coconut milk, 2,7 g Na 2HPO 4, 2,0 g K 2HPO 4, 3,0 g (NH 4) 2SO 4, 5 g of yeast extract, 1,15 g of citric acid, 10 ml of C 2H 5OH 98 %, and 7,5 ml of acetic acid 70 % in 1 l water.
