High Performance of Bacterial Strain Isolated from Bio-Extract for Cellulose Production

Bacterial cellulose (BC) producing bacterial strains were isolated from bio-extract (BE). Nine isolates that can produce BC in Hestrin–Schramm medium (HS medium) identified. The production of these was then investigated using agricultural waste as a raw material. (banana, papaya, dragon fruit, and mango peels) used carbon source for production. After incubation, the highest dry weight reached 0.93±0.27 g/L, 4.07±0.27 g/L obtained isolate BE073 containing fruit peels because materials state is appropriate growth. In with papaya peel, BE052 at about 1.08±0.05 g/L. None able to grow banana medium. However, all could HS maximum weights 4.31±0.45 4.23±0.13 4.21±0.25 BE123, BE052, BE073, respectively, Acetobacter xylinum produced 2.39±0.11 structure physical properties characterized. It similar reference strain A. xylinum. This study demonstrates ability bio-extract. also demonstrated suitable alternative material
