Aislamiento de nanopartículas implementando membranas de celulosa bacteriana en una matriz simulada

Abstract

Cellulose is a biological molecule that is abundant in nature, obtained from various sources such as plants, fungi, bacteria, and animals. Within Gram-Negative bacteria, such as A. xylinum, bacterial cellulose is produced, which is distinguished by its purity and biocompatible, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable properties. Bacterial cellulose has been used in various applications, including wastewater treatment, air purification, and the creation of selective membranes. Despite these properties, its potential in obtaining nanometric structures and particles of bacterial origin has not been explored, which could be of great biotechnological and pharmaceutical interest.
