Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a three-dimensional structure made up of nanofibrils that are created by aerobic bacteria such as K.intermedius which is able to give a high yield of BC despite it being a relatively new strain. BC is well known for its high crystallinity and water retention which are favorable for encapsulating compounds. BC are also known to have wound healing properties but it …
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is well known in the medical field to be able to speed up the process of wound healing. It also has many advantages that make it a very appealing potential as a wound healing product. The issue with BC is the lack of antimicrobial activity against pathogens on the wound site which can cause an infection. Encapsulation of B. subtilis (BS) as a probiotic into BC would all…
