Enhanced bacterial cellulose production in Komagataeibacter sucrofermentans: impact of different PQQ-dependent dehydrogenase knockouts and ethanol supplementation

Abstract Background Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biocompatible material with unique mechanical properties, thus holding a significant industrial potential. Despite many acetic acid bacteria (AAB) being BC overproducers, cost-effective production remains a challenge. The role of pyrroloquinoline qui...
