Bacterial cellulose production from acerola industrial waste using isolated kombucha strain

Bacterial Cellulose (BC) production is still considered expensive and challenging for industries. Herein, BC was produced through an acetic acid bacteria isolated from the kombucha consortium extract acerola juice-industrial waste. The bacterium characterized different assays (biochemical characterization 16S rRNA gene) being identified as Komagataeibacter rhaeticus. with static cultivation mode by strain compared using traditional Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium waste (AC) (5% w/v). kinetic behavior of slightly higher in HS reaching 2.9 g/L after 12 days fermentation, while 2.3 AC medium. Minor differences were observed between crystallinity, crystallite size, d-spacing, highlighting two-fold breaking stress resistance to conventional medium, high-temperature stability economically feasible, promissory results further application this synthesized cellulose obtained industrial residues.
