Optimization of Bacterial Cellulose Production from Pineapple Waste: Effect of Temperature, pH and Concentration

Bacterial cellulose is a type of biopolymer produced by Acetobacter xylinum in high purity, high water holding capacity, good mechanical strength, elasticity and high crystallinity. In this research, pineapple waste is used as the carbon sources for the synthesis of bacterial cellulose. The objectiv...
