Investigation on cellulose production of gluconacetobacter xylinus using food waste II

The aim of this study was to explore an effective culture method for cellulose production of Gluconacetobacter xylinus strain ATCC 53524 from utilizing available common food wastes such as fruits and wheat. The whole process of processing the foods into culture mediums and quantifying the cellulose...
