Production of bacterial cellulose using Gluconacetobacter kombuchae immobilized on Luffa aegyptiaca support

Abstract The present work report for the first time on the production of bacterial cellulose (BC) using natural loofa sponge (Luffa aegyptiaca) as a scaffold for the immobilization of Gluconacetobacter kombuchae. Bacterial cellulose (BC) are recently gained more attention in several fields including...
