Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) gene driven by the constitutive bla promoter was expressed in the cellulose-producing Acetobacter xylinum. The expressed VHb was biochemically active and could enhance cell growth in a shaken culture containing cellulase. VHb-expressing A. xylinum (VHb+) exhibited a specific growth rate 50% higher than that of the host strain (VHb-). Probably because of its faster growth rate, the size of tentacled cellulose beads produced by VHb+ was about 20% of that produced by VHb- after 2 days cultivation in a shake-flask. When cultured statically, the amount of cellulose pellicle produced by VHb+ could be 2-fold that produced by VHb-. Cellulose pellicle concentration of 11 g/L was obtained for VHb+, whereas 6 g/L was obtained for VHb- after 6 days of microaerobic incubation.

Article Synopsis
- The type of carbon source in the growth medium significantly impacts bacterial cellulose (BC) biosynthesis, affecting its properties and yield.
- The study explored five carbon sources (raffinose, sucrose, glucose, arabinose, and glycerol) to analyze their influence on BC production, fiber structure, and overall material characteristics.
- Findings demonstrated that BC could be effectively used for drug delivery, as lidocaine-loaded foams showed controlled release, emphasizing BC's potential for advanced wound healing solutions.

The nanocellulosic pellicle derived from the symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (Kombucha SCOBY) is an important biomaterial for 3D bioprinting in tissue engineering. However, this nanocellulosic hydrogel has a highly entangled gel network. This needs to be partially modified to improve its processability and extrusion ability for its applications in the 3D bioprinting area.

Developing a simple and environmentally friendly method to vary the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of cellulose films is of great importance. This study aimed to characterize 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized bacterial cellulose (BC) films prepared using non-pressurized hot water vapor (NPHWV) method. A wet BC-pellicle that had been oxidized with TEMPO was treated with NPHWV for 60, 120, and 240 minutes, respectively.

Background: The scoby pellicle of symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast is a by-product from kombucha fermentation. While a portion is used as starter culture, the remainder is often discarded, yet it can be a valuable source of bacterial cellulose.
Results: Scoby from black, green and oolong tea kombucha fermentation was assessed for its hydrocolloid effects in mango jam-making through evaluation of physicochemical, textural and sensory characteristics.

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is a durable, flexible, and dynamic biomaterial capable of serving a wide variety of fields, sectors, and applications within biotechnology, healthcare, electronics, agriculture, fashion, and others. BNC is produced spontaneously in carbohydrate-rich bacterial culture media, forming a cellulosic pellicle via a nanonetwork of fibrils extruded from certain genera. Herein, we demonstrate engineering BNC-based scaffolds with tunable physical and mechanical properties through postprocessing.
