Marine Actinobacteria are a veritable cornucopia of marine natural products with strong potential in medicine and biotechnology, which generally serves as an invaluable resource for novel antimicrobial compounds. The ever-rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has heightened the necessity for new antibiotics to challenge this threat. The marine environment has been widely known to yi…
There is widespread recognition of the environmental damage caused by plastics, but its alternative, bioplastics, has lesser tensile and water sorption properties than conventional plastic. This experiment aims to determine the effect of paper mill sludge when mixed into modified cassava starch-based bioplastic when whole and when removed of CaCO3. The bioplastics were made with one control gro…
Bacteria cellulose is a type of cellulose produced by bacteria which offers a lot of advantages compared to plant cellulose due to its physicochemical properties. Because of its properties, it has a lot of potential of being used in tissue engineering, paper manufacturing, and food industry. Despite of its enormous potential, the high production cost hinders the implementation in the industrial…
The most dominant biopolymer in the earth is cellulose, which mostly found in plants. On the other hand, bacteria have the ability to produced microbial cellulose called bacterial cellulose (BC). The BC does not contain any hemicellulose or lignin, which have higher purity compared to the plant cellulose. The production of BC has been studied, which shows that caffeine plays a role in the BC pr…
