A few members of the family Acetobacteraceae are cellulose-producers, while only six members fix nitrogen. Bacterial strain RG3T, isolated from Kombucha tea, displays both of these characteristics. A high bootstrap value in the 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis supported the position of this strain within the genus Gluconacetobacter, with Gluconacetobacter hansenii LMG 1527T as...

We focused on preparing cellulose nanofibrils by purification, separation, and mechanical treatment of Kombucha membranes (KM) resulted as secondary product from beverage production by fermentation of tea broth with symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). We purified KM using two alkaline solutions, 1 and 4 M NaOH, which afterwards were subjected to various mechanical treatments. Trans...

The present study has reported the production of environmentally friendly Kombucha tea fungus (TF), as well its investigation a potential biosorbent to remove cationic methyl violet (MV) dye from aqueous solutions. TF was characterized by using FT-IR, thermal analysis and zeta measurements. biosorption MV significantly dependent on pH solutions highest removal for observed at pH=9.0 which also ...

Kombucha Scoby is a colony consisted from bacteria, yeast and cellulosic pellicle that present fantastic performances in various fields. Besides anti-toxicity and antimicrobial specifications of Kombucha scoby, this unique colony can be used for waste water treatment and removal of heavy metals. Herein, efficiency of graphene oxide/Fe3O4 nanoparticles (GO/Fe3O4) and Kombucha Scoby in the remova...

Kombucha merupakan salah satu minuman fungsional yang memiliki aktivitas biologis seperti antioksidan, antimikrob, antidiabetes dan antiinflamasi dihasilkan melalui proses fermentasi teh gula dengan menggunakan kultur starter kombucha disebut SCOBY (Symbiotic culture of bacbteria and yeast). Lamanya waktu pada pembuatan akan mempengaruhi sifat fisikokimia berkaitan titik kritis kehalalan Peneli...

Exploration of the potential alternative ingredients to replace black tea or green in making kombucha has begun be widely carried out. On Timor Island, faloak stem bark is processed into a traditional drink by some locals. For this reason, use as basic ingredient for needs studied, especially exploring its antibacterial potential, which analyzed based on concentration sugar used. This study aim...

Kombucha (KT), a fermented black tea (BT), is known to have many beneficial properties. In the present study, antioxidant property of KT has been investigated against tertiary butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) induced cytotoxicity using murine hepatocytes. TBHP, a reactive oxygen species inducer, causes oxidative stress resulting in organ pathophysiology. Exposure to TBHP caused a reduction in cell vi...

Black carrot, which is an economically important product, produced extensively in Konya and Hatay regions Turkey. Kombucha tea a symbiotic system, comprises of bacteria yeasts cultures called as SCOBY, by fermentation sugar leaves. samples contained black carrot juice two concentrations (10 20%) compared with the green varieties were used for enrichment production investigated terms physico-che...
