RESEARCH ON ACETOBACTER XYLINUMPRODUCING BACTERIAL CELLULOSE FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSE OF BURN WOUND TREATMENT

Abstract

65 strains of  A. xylinum were isolated from 14 samplu. The strains  A.xylinum BHN2 was selected for bacterial cellulose production study.  The optimum medium for the strain was determined as (g/l): 20 w/v glucose; 20.0 (NH4)2SO4: 2.0; KH2PO4: 2.0; MgSO4.7H20: 2.0, coconut milk 1000 ml; pH = 5.0; S/V = 0.8. It was also fourd that, the bacterial cellulose was a

promising candidade of burn wound treatment.
