The drip feed reactor system for continuous biosynthesis of bacterial cellulose with
desired microfibril orientation is proposed. Native bacterial cellulose is obtained on the
glucose media using symbiotic complex of yeast and bacteria A.xylinum. Micromorphological characteristics of the bacterial cellulose structure are visualized
using SEM Sigma VP ZEISS scanning electron microscopy. The crystallinity degree of
the specimens is calculated by new method using X-ray diffractometry (XRD-7000S
diffractometer).
The 28 cm-long bacterial cellulose specimen was obtained in drip feed reactor system
during 12 days continuous cultivation. Internal biofouling of reactor system tubes was
observed. Globular microfibril structures were formed in the matrix of bacterial
cellulose in the drip feed reactor system unlike the cellulose obtained in static
conditions. The diffraction patterns of bacterial cellulose specimens synthesized in static and dynamic (the drip feed reactor system) conditions were obtained. It was shown that basic crystalline compound of the specimens was I?-type cellulose. The crystallinity degree of bacterial cellulose from the reactor system was 12 %, whereas for cellulose synthesized in static conditions this parameter was equal to 15 %. The structure of bacterial cellulose became less oriented because of increasing of ratio of amorphous parts in comparison with structure of bacterial cellulose synthesized in static conditions.
