A novel strategy to alleviate medium acidosis for simultaneously yielding more bacterial cellulose and electricity

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC), a fascinating and renewable polymer, can be applied widely in various bio-based materials. However, its synthesis is generally limited by medium acidosis. Herein, we demonstrated a built-in galvanic cell within the BC fermentation medium to alleviate the acidosis, by which BC yield was promoted by 191%, and simultaneously the yield of electrical power of 0.68 W to 8.10 W during the incubation.
