dc.description.abstractThe production of bacterial cellulose by Acetobacter xylinum in coconut water medium by four carbon sources (glucose, fructose, mannitol, sucrose and trehalose) at four pH levels (3.5,4.0,4.5,5.0) was examined. Controller gave the highest cellulose level followed by mannitol, fructose, trehalose, glucose and sucrose at pH 5.0. The results show that carbon source does not play a major role on the production of BC in coconut water medium. However medium pH has a considerable effect in achieving high productions of BC.
