Effect of surface area and depth of culture medium on bacterial cellulose production
According to Iguchi et al. (2000), in a static culture, the bacterial cellulose pellicle is formed at the air-liquid interface as the aerobic bacteria produce cellulose only in the vicinity of the surface. Hence, the presence study was conducted to investigate the influence of the surface area and depth of the culture medium on pellicle formation.
According to Frank (1995), when the bacterial cellulose culture floats on the surface, it first grows outwards until the surface of the solution is fully
