Bacterial nanocellulose-clay film as an eco-friendly sorbent for superior pollutants removal from aqueous solutions. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 257:119231. [PMID: 38797468 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The persistent water treatment and separation challenge necessitates innovative and sustainable advances to tackle conventional and emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment effectively. Therefore, a unique three-dimensional (3D) network composite film (BNC-KC) comprised of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) incorporated nano-kaolinite clay particles (KC) was successfully synthesized via an in-situ approach. The microscopic characterization of BNC-KC revealed an effective integration of KC within the 3D matrix of BNC. The investigated mechanical properties of BNC-KC demonstrated a better performance compared to BNC. Thereafter, the sorption performance of BNC-KC films towards basic blue 9 dye (Bb9) and norfloxacin (NFX) antibiotic from water was investigated. The maximum sorption capacities of BNC-KC for Bb9 and NFX were 127.64 and 101.68 mg/g, respectively. Mechanistic studies showed that electrostatic interactions, multi-layered sorption, and 3D structure are pivotal in the NFX/Bb9 sorption process. The intricate architecture of BNC-KC effectively traps molecules within the interlayer spaces, significantly increasing sorption efficiency. The distinctive structural configuration of BNC-KC films effectively addressed the challenges of post-water treatment separation while concurrently mitigating waste generation. The environmental evaluation, engineering, and economic feasibility of BNC-KC are also discussed. The cost estimation assessment of BNC-KC revealed the potential to remove NFX and Bb9 from water at an economically viable cost.

Abstract
Bandages for daily wounds are the most common medical supplies, but there are still ingrained defects in their appearance, comfort, functions, as well as environmental pollution. Here, novel bandages based on bacterial cellulose (BC) membrane for wound monitoring and advanced wound management are developed. The BC membrane is combined with silver nanowires (AgNWs) by using vacuum filtration method to achieve transparent, ultrathin (≈7 µm), breathable (389.98-547.79 g m-2 d-1 ), and sandwich-structured BC/AgNWs bandages with superior mechanical properties (108.45-202.35 MPa), antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, biocompatibility, and conductivity (9.8 × 103 -2.0 × 105 S m-1 ). Significantly, the BC/AgNWs bandage is used in the electrical stimulation (direct current, 600 microamperes for 1 h every other day) treatment of full-thickness skin defect in rats, which obviously promotes wound healing by increasing the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The BC bandage is used for monitoring wounds and achieve a high accuracy of 94.7% in classifying wound healing stages of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, by using a convolutional neural network. The outcomes of this study not only provide two BC-based bandages as multifunctional wound management, but also demonstrate a new strategy for the development of the next generation of smart bandage.

Abstract
Bio-cellulose derived materials (BCM) exhibit distinct structural and morphologic properties, which make them suitable for catalytic environmental remediation. In the domain of water treatment, the prospects for BCM remain bright, offering new possibilities for the development of advanced materials with low environmental impact. Research on BCM as catalysts or catalyst immobilization platforms for water treatment is still limited, mostly using laboratory-grown biomaterials for the photocatalytic degradation of dyes. BCM production costs can be significant, which can hinder its application. Thus, cost-effective alternatives using waste materials as substrates for BCM culture media are highly desirable to optimize production, while also decreasing food waste. Moreover, advances in biotechnology can enhance BCM production, tailoring its properties to meet specific requirements. Hybrid catalytic BCM composites can be easily developed, due to the straightforward functionalization of the biomaterial's network, promoting the efficiency of a variety of catalytic systems. Still considering the intrinsic features of the biomaterial, membrane development and application pose as an opportunity for continuous flow evaluations, facilitating long-term usage and reusability. Nevertheless, there are still challenges regarding catalytic BCM for water treatment (i.e., cost-effectiveness, scaling up, and consistent performance in diverse treatment scenarios). Addressing these aspects can lead to innovative environmental remediation options.

Abstract
By employing co-cultivation technique on Komagataeibacter xylinum and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, bacterial cellulose (BC)/nisin films with improved antibacterial activity and mechanical properties were successfully produced. The findings demonstrated that increased nisin production is associated with an upregulation of gene expression. Furthermore, results from Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) confirmed the integration of nisin within BC. While being biocompatible with human cells, the BC/nisin composites exhibited antimicrobial activity. Moreover, mechanical property analyses showed a noticeable improvement in Young's modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break by 161, 271, and 195 %, respectively. Additionally, the nisin content in fermentation broth was improved by 170 % after co-culture, accompanied by an 8 % increase in pH as well as 10 % decrease in lactate concentration. Real-time reverse transcription PCR analysis revealed an upregulation of 11 nisin-related genes after co-cultivation, with the highest increase in nisA (5.76-fold). To our knowledge, this is the first study which demonstrates that an increase in secondary metabolites after co-culturing is modulated by gene expression. This research offers a cost-effective approach for BC composite production and presents a technique to enhance metabolite concentration through the regulation of relevant genes.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has been widely applied in various fields due to its excellent physicochemical properties, but its high production cost remains a challenge. Herein, the present study aimed to utilize the hydrolysate of vinegar residue (VR) as the only medium to realize the cost-effective production of BC. The BC production was optimized by the single-factor test. The treatment of 6 % VR concentration with 3 % acid concentration at 100 °C for 1.5 h and 96 U/mL of cellulase for 4 h at 50 °C obtained a maximum reducing sugar concentration of about 32 g/L. Additionally, the VR hydrolysate treated with 3 % active carbon (AC) at 40 °C for 0.5 h achieved a total phenol removal ratio of 86 %. The yield of BC reached 2.1 g/L under the optimum conditions, which was twice compared to the standard medium. The produced BC was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and TGA analyses, and the results indicated that the BC prepared by AC-treated VR hydrolysate had higher fiber density, higher crystallinity, and good thermal stability. Furthermore, the regenerated BC (RBC) fibers with a tensile stress of 400 MPa were prepared successfully using AmimCl solution as a solvent by dry-wet-spinning method. Overall, the VR waste could be used as an alternative carbon source for the sustainable production of BC, which could be further applied to RBC fibers preparation.

Abstract
Prokaryotes are known to produce and secrete a broad range of biopolymers with a high functional and structural heterogeneity, often with critical duties in the bacterial physiology and ecology. Among these, exopolysaccharides (EPS) play relevant roles in the interaction of bacteria with eukaryotic hosts. EPS can help to colonize the host and assist in bacterial survival, making this interaction more robust by facilitating the formation of structured biofilms. In addition, they are often key molecules in the specific recognition mechanisms involved in both beneficial and pathogenic bacteria-host interactions. A novel EPS known as MLG (Mixed-Linkage β-Glucan) was recently discovered in rhizobia, where it participates in bacterial aggregation and biofilm formation and is required for efficient attachment to the roots of their legume host plants. MLG is the first and, so far, the only reported linear Mixed-Linkage β-glucan in bacteria, containing a perfect alternation of β (1 → 3) and β (1 → 4) bonds. A phylogenetic study of MLG biosynthetic genes suggests that far from being exclusive of rhizobia, different soil and plant-associated bacteria likely produce MLG, adding this novel polymer to the plethora of surface polysaccharides that help bacteria thrive in the changing environment and to establish successful interactions with their hosts.In this work, a quantification method for MLG is proposed. It relays on the hydrolysis of MLG by a specific enzyme (lichenase), and the subsequent quantification of the released disaccharide (laminaribiose) by the phenol-sulfuric acid method. The protocol has been set up and optimized for its use in 96-well plates, which makes it suitable for high-throughput screening (HTS) approaches. This method stands out by its fast processing, technical simplicity, and capability to handle multiple samples and biological replicates at a time.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising material for use as an artificial skin in wound healing application, however, its applications are limited due to its poor malleability. Incorporating non-cellulosic polysaccharides such as dextran and xyloglucan (XG) may enhance its respective wound healing and malleability. This study presents a novel in situ biopreparation method to produce BC-based hybrid hydrogels containing dextran (BC-D) and xyloglucan-dextran (BC-XG-D) with unique mechanical and rheological properties. Structural analysis revealed that dextran of different sizes (10 k, 70 k and 2 M of Mw) form micron-sized particles by loosely binding to cellulosic fibres. The addition of xyloglucan resulted acts as a lubricant in mechanical testing. The BC-XG-D hybrid hydrogels showed a reduced Young's modulus of 4 MPa and a higher maximum tensile strain of 53 % compared to native BC. Moreover, they displayed less plastic but more viscous behaviour under large shear strain deformation. The wound healing animal model experiments demonstrated that the BC-XG-D hybrid hydrogels promoted wound healing process and skin maturation. Overall, these findings contribute to the development of functional BC-based medical materials with desired mechanical and rheological properties that have the potential to accelerate wound healing.

Abstract
Recently, degradable biopolymers have become increasingly important as potential environmentally friendly biomaterials, providing a wide range of applications in various fields. Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are biomacromolecules, which due to their unique properties have found applications in biomedicine, foodstuff, textiles, cosmetics, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, nanoelectronics, and environmental remediation. One of the important commercial polysaccharides produced on an industrial scale is xanthan. In recent years, the range of its application has expanded significantly. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is another unique EPS with a rapidly increasing range of applications. Due to the great prospects for their practical application, the development of their highly efficient production remains an important task. The present review summarizes the strategies for the cost-effective production of such important biomacromolecules as xanthan and BC and demonstrates for the first time common approaches to their efficient production and to obtaining new functional materials for a wide range of applications, including wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, environmental remediation, nanoelectronics, and 3D bioprinting. In the end, we discuss present limitations of xanthan and BC production and the line of future research.

Abstract
Fuel cells are electrochemical, ecologically friendly appliances that transform chemical energy into electricity in a clean, simple, and effective manner. With the advancement of technology in the field of computer science, electronic downsizing, and the ongoing need for mobility, the demand for portable energy sources such as fuel cells has considerably increased. The proton exchange membrane, which is designed to be a good conductor for protons while isolating electrons to move from the anode to the cathode, imprinting them an external circuit, and thus creating electricity, is at the heart of such an energy source. Perfluorosulfonic acid-based (NAFION) membranes, first introduced over 50 years ago, are still the state of the art in the field of fuel cell proton exchange membranes today. However, because of the numerous drawbacks connected with the usage of NAFION membranes, the scientific community has shifted its focus to producing new generation membranes based on natural materials, such as cellulose. Therefore, we believe that a review of the most recent studies on the use of cellulose as a material for proton exchange membranes in fuel cells may be very much appreciated by the scientific community.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3338. [PMID: 37631395 PMCID: PMC10457915 DOI: 10.3390/polym15163338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Essential oils (EOs) have stability problems, including volatility, oxidation, photosensitivity, heat sensitivity, humidity sensitivity, pH sensitivity, and ion sensitivity. A drug delivery system is an effective way to stabilize EOs, especially due to the protective effect of polymeric drug carriers. Polysaccharides are frequently employed as drug carrier materials because they are highly safe, come in a variety of forms, and have plentiful sources. Interestingly, the EO drug delivery system is based on the biomimetic concept since it corresponds to the structure of plant tissue. In this paper, we associate the biomimetic plant-like structures of the EO drug delivery system with the natural forms of EO in plant tissues, and summarize the characteristics of polysaccharide-based drug carriers for EO protection. Thus, we highlight the research progress on polysaccharides and their modified materials, including gum arabic, starch, cellulose, chitosan, sodium alginate, pectin, and pullulan, and their use as biomimetic drug carriers for EO preparations due to their abilities and potential for EO protection.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has been widely used in tissue engineering due to its unique spatial structure and suitable biological properties. In this study, a small biologically active Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic acid-Serine (RGDS) tetrapeptide was incorporated on the porous BC surface followed by a low-energy CO2 laser etching operation. As a result, different micropatterns were established on the BC surface with RGDS only anchored on the raised platform surface of the micropatterned BC (MPBC). Material characterization showed that all micropatterned structures exhibited platforms with a width of ~150 μm and grooves with a width of ~100 μm and a depth of ~300 μm, which displayed distinct hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The resulting RGDS-MPBC could hold the material integrity, as well as the microstructure morphology under a humid environment. In-vitro and in-vivo assays on cell migration, collagen deposition, and histological analysis revealed that micropatterns led to significant impacts on wound healing progress compared to the BC without surface-engineered micropatterns. Specifically, the basket-woven micropattern etched on the BC surface exhibited the optimal wound healing outcome with the presence of fewer macrophages and the least scar formation. This study further addresses the potential of adopting surface micropatterning strategies to promote skin wounds towards scar-free outcomes.

Abstract
Today, a wide variety of bio- and nanomaterials have been deployed for cardiovascular tissue engineering (TE), including polymers, metal oxides, graphene/its derivatives, organometallic complexes/composites based on inorganic-organic components, among others. Despite several advantages of these materials with unique mechanical, biological, and electrical properties, some challenges still remain pertaining to their biocompatibility, cytocompatibility, and possible risk factors (e.g., teratogenicity or carcinogenicity), restricting their future clinical applications. Natural polysaccharide- and protein-based (nano)structures with the benefits of biocompatibility, sustainability, biodegradability, and versatility have been exploited in the field of cardiovascular TE focusing on targeted drug delivery, vascular grafts, engineered cardiac muscle, etc. The usage of these natural biomaterials and their residues offers several advantages in terms of environmental aspects such as alleviating emission of greenhouse gases as well as the production of energy as a biomass consumption output. In TE, the development of biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds with potentially three-dimensional structures, high porosity, and suitable cellular attachment/adhesion still needs to be comprehensively studied. In this context, bacterial cellulose (BC) with high purity, porosity, crystallinity, unique mechanical properties, biocompatibility, high water retention, and excellent elasticity can be considered as promising candidate for cardiovascular TE. However, several challenges/limitations regarding the absence of antimicrobial factors and degradability along with the low yield of production and extensive cultivation times (in large-scale production) still need to be resolved using suitable hybridization/modification strategies and optimization of conditions. The biocompatibility and bioactivity of BC-based materials along with their thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability are crucial aspects in designing TE scaffolds. Herein, cardiovascular TE applications of BC-based materials are deliberated, with a focus on the most recent advancements, important challenges, and future perspectives. Other biomaterials with cardiovascular TE applications and important roles of green nanotechnology in this field of science are covered to better compare and comprehensively review the subject. The application of BC-based materials and the collective roles of such biomaterials in the assembly of sustainable and natural-based scaffolds for cardiovascular TE are discussed.

Abstract
In recent years, several researchers have focused their studies on the development of sustainable biomaterials using renewable sources, including the incorporation of living biological systems. One of the best biomaterials is bacterial cellulose (BC). There are several ways to produce BC, from using a pure strain to producing the fermented drink kombucha, which has a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBY). Studies have shown that the use of agricultural waste can be a low-cost and sustainable way to create BC. This article conducts a literature review to analyze issues related to the creation of BC through kombucha production. The databases used were ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and SpringerLink. A total of 42 articles, dated from 2018 to 2022, were referenced to write this review. The findings contributed to the discussion of three topics: (1) The production of BC through food waste (including patents in addition to the scientific literature); (2) Areas of research, sectors, and products that use BC (including research that did not use the kombucha drink, but used food waste as a source of carbon and nitrogen); and (3) Production, sustainability, and circular economy: perspectives, challenges, and trends in the use of BC (including some advantages and disadvantages of BC production through the kombucha drink).

Abstract
In this paper a perfect absorber with a photonic crystal cavity (PhC-cavity) is numerically investigated for carbon dioxide (CO2) gas sensing application. Metallic structures in the form of silver are introduced for harnessing plasmonic effects to achieve perfect absorption. The sensor comprises a PhC-cavity, silver (Ag) stripes, and a host functional material-Polyhexamethylene biguanide polymer-deposited on the surface of the sensor. The PhC-cavity is implemented within the middle of the cell, helping to penetrate the EM waves into the sublayers of the structure. Therefore, corresponding to the concentration of the CO2 gas, as it increases, the refractive index of the host material decreases, causing a blue shift in the resonant wavelength and vice versa of the device. The sensor is used for the detection of 0-524 parts per million (ppm) concentration of the CO2 gas, with a maximum sensitivity of 17.32 pm (pico meter)/ppm achieved for a concentration of 366 ppm with a figure of merit (FOM) of 2.9 RIU-1. The four-layer device presents a straightforward and compact design that can be adopted in various sensing applications by using suitable host functional materials.

Abstract
The present work is devoted to research on the interaction between carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt and its derivatives (graft copolymer of carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt and N,N-dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate) with cysteine protease (ficin). The interaction was studied by FTIR and by flexible molecular docking, which have shown the conjugates' formation with both matrices. The proteolytic activity assay performed with azocasein demonstrated that the specific activities of all immobilized ficin samples are higher in comparison with those of the native enzyme. This is due to the modulation of the conformation of ficin globule and of the enzyme active site by weak physical interactions involving catalytically valuable amino acids. The results obtained can extend the practical use of ficin in biomedicine and biotechnology.

Abstract
In recent years, the immobilization of palladium nanoparticles on solid supports to prepare active and stable catalytic systems has been deeply investigated. Compared to inorganic materials, naturally occurring organic solids are inexpensive, available and abundant. Moreover, the surface of these solids is fully covered by chelating groups which can stabilize the metal nanoparticles. In the present review, we have focused our attention on natural biomaterials-supported metal catalysts applied to the formation of C–C bonds by Mizoroki–Heck, Suzuki–Miyaura and Sonogashira reactions. A systematic approach based on the nature of the organic matrix will be followed: (i) metal catalysts supported on cellulose; (ii) metal catalysts supported on starch; (iii) metal catalysts supported on pectin; (iv) metal catalysts supported on agarose; (v) metal catalysts supported on chitosan; (vi) metal catalysts supported on proteins and enzymes. We will emphasize the effective heterogeneity and recyclability of each catalyst, specifying which studies were carried out to evaluate these aspects.
