Novel bacterial cellulose membrane biosynthesized by a new and highly efficient producer Komagataeibacter rhaeticus TJPU03

Bacterial cellulose(BC) is a kind of extracellular polymer synthesized by bacteria and it has very wide applications in many fields. However, the application of BC in a large commercial scale can still not be fulfilled due to the low yield and demanding for BC membranes with very different properties. To this end, a new BC-producer Komagataeibacter rhaeticus TJPU03 was isolated from rotten orange peel, which produced 8.28 ± 0.27 g/L(dry weight)...
