Cost-effective production of bacterial cellulose using acidic food industry by-products

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract To reduce the cost of obtaining bacterial cellulose, acidic by-products of the alcohol and dairy industries were used without any pretreatment or addition of other nitrogen sources. Studies have shown that the greatest accumulation of bacterial cellulose (6.19 g/L) occurs on wheat thin stillage ...
