Optimization of Microbial Cellulose Production by the Newly Isolated Acetobacter sp. DR-1 under Laboratory Conditions
Abstract: Cellulose is the most abundant natural biopolymer on the earth, synthesized by plants, algae and also some species of bacteria. It is also produced by some animals (e.g., tunicates).Cellulose constitutes one of the three principal components present in plant, namely cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin. However, the degree of polymerization and crystallinity of bacterial cellulose is considerable high than that of plant cellulose. In microbes, cellulose is normally produced as exo-polysaccharide, …

Mining of the River Bed and Environmental Consequences
Abstract: Due to tremendous rate of demand, by the year 2050, the world is expected to run out of construction grade sand. Construction-grade sand is found in aquatic environments, such as rivers and is a provisioning ecosystem service. Even under controlled circumstances, the practice of extracting the sand from the riverbed and river-banks impacts the environment. Unfortunately, many countries lack sand mining regulation policies and in combination with a high demand, …
