Summary: This study explores the potential of olive pomace as a carbon source for Novacetimonas hansenii. Enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated olive pomace resulted in a maximum reducing sugar concentration of 9.3 g/L with a ratio of 1 enzyme: 6 substrate. The highest bacterial cellulose production of 0.68 g/L was achieved when the obtained reducing sugar was used as the carbon source. Structural analysis showed similar characteristics between bacterial cellulose from the enzymatic media and the conventional Hestrin-Schramm medium. This work provides a cost-effective method for bacterial cellulose production.

Summary: Carbon nanomaterials have attracted widespread attention in the medical community due to their outstanding physical and chemical properties. However, issues such as self-aggregation and poor water solubility have limited their applications. Researchers have recently developed a new intelligent composite material by combining carbon nanomaterials with bacterial cellulose, which has been widely used in nanomedicine fields such as targeted drug delivery and biosensors. This paper reviews the research progress of carbon nanomaterials based on bacterial cellulose in nanomedicine, and discusses the potential cytotoxicity and challenges for future clinical applications.

Summary: Bacterial cellulose, a raw material widely used in industrial applications, was dissolved and used as a coating material in this study. The coated fabrics showed improved durability compared to raw fabric, but a decrease in strength. As the amount of coating material in the fabric increased, air permeability values decreased, while relative water vapor permeability and thermal conductivity values increased.
