摘要

The present study is centered on the biosynthesis of bacterial celluloseBacterial cellulose produced from kombuchaKombucha inoculum, hereafter referred to as kombucha-derived bacterial celluloseBacterial cellulose (KBC). For KBC production, Green tea culture media was utilized. Acetobacter xylinum cultures were obtained from organic apple vinegar and unpasteurized commercial kombuchaKombucha. The resulting KBC was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEMScattering electron microscopy (SEM)), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) in order to verify its morphological characteristics, thermal resistance, and purity. CharacterizationCharacterization aimed to evaluate the influence of isolation conditions in this region of the world on the physicochemical properties of KBC and determine its potential as a resource for producing biodegradable films.
