Biosynthesis of Microbial Cellulose from the Antarctic Microorganisms
Microbial cellulose is characteristic in that it has a much finer structure than plant cellulose and potential as a new material for various applications. However, because it is produced by culture approximately at 30℃, its production requires antifungal measures. Therefore, microbial cellulose-prod...
