BIOSYNTESIS OF HIGHLY ORIENTATED BACTERIAL CELLULOSE UNDER STIRRED CULTURE OF ACETOBACTER XYLINUM

抄録

The orientation of bacterial cellulose was achieved by stirred culture. The fibrils showed higher orientation than those produced by conventional static culture, The oriented membrane became clear during the drying and the replacement of water retained in fibrils to organic solvents made the orientation of fibrils clearer under polarized microscopy.
