Characterization of bacterial nanocellulose cultivated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) monomers via raman and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

Abstract The potential of Komagataeibacter (K.) sucrofermentans to valorize polyethylene terephthalate (PET) monomers - ethylene glycol (EG) & disodium terephthalate (Na2-TPA) - and glucose into bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) membranes was investigated using Raman and Fourier transform infrared (...
