Research output type: production. Brief description of the research: Despite the presence of cellulose in plants, the stages of its extraction cause a problem on the environment, so the trend was to produce bacterial cellulose. It was found that the chemical composition of microbial (bacterial) cellulose is similar to the chemical composition of plant cellulose, except that microbial cellulose fibers have unique physical properties that are not found in cellulose of plant origin, as the radius of the pure fiber network forming microbial cellulose reaches (0.1 μm), which represents 1/100 of the radius of wood cellulose fibres.
Fields of use of the research output: Exploitation of maize infusion residue resulting from the starch industry by constructing units to dispense the wort on fermenters with suitable environmental conditions to feed the microorganism. The final beneficiary of the research output: in various industrial fields.
