An O-antigen polysaccharide fraction (Ke-PS) was isolated from Komagataeibacter europaeus NBRC 3261. In addition to chemical analyses, its structure was characterized by 1D and 2D H as well as C NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharide is composed of linear disaccharide repeating unit that consists of d-galactose and d-glycero-d-manno-heptose: →7)-α-d,d-Hepp-(1 → 2)-α-d-Galp-(1 → .

Vinegar and related bioproducts containing acetic acid as the main component are among the most appreciated fermented foodstuffs in numerous European and Asian countries because of their exceptional organoleptic and bio-healthy properties. Regarding the acetification process and obtaining of final products, there is still a lack of knowledge on fundamental aspects, especially those related to the study of biodiversity and metabolism of the present microbiota. In this context, omic technologies currently allow for the massive analysis of macromolecules and metabolites for the identification and characterization of these microorganisms working in their natural media without the need for isolation.

We evaluated the suitability of Komagataeibacter europaeus, a vinegar production organism adept at synthetic media growth, as a host for heterologous gene expression. Cryptic plasmids (pGE1 and pGE2 derivatives) from K. europaeus strain KGMA0119 were employed as vectors for heterologous gene expression.

This study addresses the pressing need for sustainable bioremediation solutions to combat increasing pollution challenges in alignment with sustainability development goals. The research focuses on developing a co-culture approach involving microalgae and Komagataeibacter europaeus BCRC 14148 bacterium to create a biocomposite for efficient ammonia removal. Nanocellulose, produced by the bacterium, serves as a substrate for microalgae attachment.

A hydrothermal process is a sustainable approach for biorefinery leading to conversion of lignocellulosic (LC) biomass into value-added products. This study is based on the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from pineapple leaves (PL) waste by using mild acid like gluconic acid (GA). GA, when used as catalyst in hydrothermal process to produce XOS the yield improved.

Unlabelled: Bacterial cellulose (BC) has attracted worldwide attention owing to its tremendous properties and versatile applications. BC has huge market demand, however; its production is still limited hence important to explore the economically and technically feasible bioprocess for its improved production. The current study is based on improving the bioprocess for BC production employing 14148.
