Antibacterial Komagataeibacter hansenii nanocellulose membranes with avocado seed bioactive compounds

Biocompatible, mechanically stable, highly hydrophilic/swellable and safe antibacterial biomaterials are crucial for wound dressing and other applications in the health sector. Therefore, this study was conducted for the development of bacterial nanocellulose membranes, which were, for the first time, enriched with bacteriostatic and bactericidal effective avocado seed extracts prepared by different extraction techniques (ultrasonic, Soxhlet, high pressure with supercritical carbon dioxide). First, the production process of bacterial nanocellulose membranes from Komagataeibacter hansenii bacteria was optimized related to the fermentation media composition and culture conditions, resulting in bacterial nanocellulose membranes with up to 83
