Basics
- Cellulose made via (Non-Pathogenic, Industrial ) Bacteria, rather than the usual Cellulosic Biomass
- In particular interest is Komagataeibacter hansenii which was isolated from Kombucha SCOBY and produces a SCOBY-esque Pellicle of (near) Pure Cellulose
- Need to dig into papers on how pure it is/typical impurities
Main Applications
- Non-Plastic Vegan Leather (Re: SCOBY Leather )
- Precision Fermentation
- Especially for certain Industrial Wastewater Treatment Streams as an alternative to “simple” Aerobic Digestion etc
- Unlike mote conventional routes that either produce no product (other that Sludge/ Digestate ), or (Conventional) Anaerobic Digestion which produces a comparatively low quality product ( Biogas ), if designed properly Bacterial Cellulose could turn waste streams into High Value, In Demand products
- Might be some difficulty in producing medical grade cellulose if using certain waste streams,? Need to look into this further
- This probably falls under Waste Valorization / Waste Recovery to an extent
- Unlike mote conventional routes that either produce no product (other that Sludge/ Digestate ), or (Conventional) Anaerobic Digestion which produces a comparatively low quality product ( Biogas ), if designed properly Bacterial Cellulose could turn waste streams into High Value, In Demand products
