PRODUCTION OF BACTERIAL CELLULOSE BY MICROBIOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS
The current study was investigated to evaluate the productivity of bacterial cellulose by the strain Gluconacetobacter hansenii GH-1/2008 (VKPM B-10547). The strain was cultivated in both static and shaking conditions. The highest bacterial cellulose yield was produced at 30°C for 7 days in the static medium, which contains 30 g saccharose, 1 g condensed coconut milk, 2,7 g Na <sub>2</sub>HPO <sub>4</sub>, 2,0 g K <sub>2</sub>HPO <sub>4</sub>, 3,0 g (NH <sub>4</sub>) <sub>2</sub>SO <sub>4</sub>, 5 g of yeast extract, 1,15 g of citric acid, 10 ml of C <sub>2</sub>H <sub>5</sub>OH 98 %, and 7,5 ml of acetic acid 70 % in 1 l water.
