Direct filature of bacterial cellulose from culture medium

The continuous Filature of bacterial cellulose has been achieved directly from culture medium using shallow culture pan newly designed. A remarkable progress of fiber properties was observed comparing with regenerated cellulosic filaments on the filament of bacterial cellulose dependently on the rinsing process with water or ethylene glycol. The progress of fiber properties was also shown on the filament of N-acetylglucosamine(GlcNAc) incorporated bacterial cellulose probably due to enforcement of fiber interactions. A copolymer of carboxymethyl-glucose (CM-Glc) and glucose has been achieved successfully to increase the adsorption capacity for lead ion comparing with original carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).
