Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF BACTERIAL CELLULOSE FIBERS, YARNS. THREADS AND TAPES AND RESULTING PRODUCTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/031154
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
More specifically is the bacterial cellulose production process (P), where such cellulose is produced by the microorganism Gluconobacter(Acetobacter)xylinum, being directed to develop inside a controlled environment, specifically tubes (T), made of materials that are gas permeable, with wall thickness and diameters appropriate to the product type (F) you wish to produce; referred process (P) uses, as carbon source, an anhydrous glucose and no residuals in the environment that need to be dealt with at the end of the production; the process (P) enables the microorganism to be forced to produce cellulose fibrils that are spread along the entire internal wall of the tube (T), configuring the resulting product (F) in the format of a thread, fiber or tape, of variable diameter and length according to the tube that generated and according to the format imposed during the fermentation process.
