Metabolic investigation in Gluconacetobacter xylinus and its bacterial cellulose production under a direct current electric field

The effects of a direct current (DC) electric field on the growth and metabolism of Gluconacetobacter xylinus were investigated in static culture. When a DC electric field at 10 mA was applied using platinum electrodes to the culture broth, bacterial cellulose (BC) production was promoted in 12 hour...
