Influence of Agitation and Static Cultivation on Physicochemical Characteristics of Bacterial Cellulose Produced by Gluconacetobacter liquefaciens MTCC 3135By Garima Singh, Pammi Gauba, Garima Mathur
Abstract: Bacterial cellulose (BC) a with applications spanning biomedical, food, paper, electronics, and diverse industrial processes. Its unique properties include high purity, biocompatibility, and flexibility. BC is a versatile natural biopolymeric material, secreted by certain acetic acid bacteria. BC has numerous benefits over plant cellulose due to distinctive features, e.g., higher polymerization degree and purity, superior crystalline structure, water retention, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, which make BC a valuable material in creating …

Characterization of Cellulose Producing Bacterial Isolates from Rotten FruitsBy Samriddh Srivastava, Garima Mathur
Abstract: Cellulose, the most abundant natural polymer, is predominantly sourced from plant wood but can also be synthesized by certain bacteria in the form of bio-cellulose. The potential applications of bio-cellulose are extensive, particularly in the biomedical field for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and more. The distinct properties and purity of bacterial cellulose, in contrast to plant-derived cellulose, underscore its importance and drive further research in the area. This study focuses …

Screening and Isolation of Bacterial Isolates for Polyhydroxyalkanoates Production from Oil-Contaminated sitesBy Rakhi Pandey, Garima Mathur
Abstract: Synthetic polymers are generally manufactured from petroleum and chemical-based sources. These polymers are employed in day-to-day life basic needs which leads to the production of huge number of synthetic polymers that accumulate in nature for thousands of years. There are limitations associated with synthetic polymers apart from their non-biodegradability, non-compatibility their mechanical and physical properties that cannot be easily altered narrows their few applications. PHAs (polyhydroxyalkanoates) are biopolymers that can …
