Abstrakt: The bacterial cellulose production (BCP) process, using cellulose microfibrils (CM) of Acetobacter xylinum enmeshed on luffa sponge matrices (LSM) as LSM-CM starter, has been successfully developed where the LSM-CM production process can be recycled through consecutive cycles in limited dissolved oxygen (DO) under continuous aeration. In this study, incremental aeration rates impacted the consecutive cycles. Gluconic acid production, during the process, resulting in the reduction of BCP, was increasingly generated at high aeration from 0.28 to 0.34% at 3 L/min to 0.83–0.97% and 1.52–1.99% at 6 and 9 L/min after 7 d culture at 30 ± 2 °C. To compensate for the negative impact of aeration, 0.10 and 0.15% (w/v) carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was found to create a microenvironment for recycled LSM-CM at both high aeration (6 and 9 L/min, respectively). Under nine consecutive BCP cycles, acceptable BC yields (from 5.54 ± 0.5 to 5.89 ± 0.5 g/L) were associated with high biomass at 6 L/min aeration. These results confirm that LSM-CM, combined with CMC called as LSM-CM-CMC, created microenvironments low in DO under high aeration rates and that the recycled LSM-CM-CMC with aeration is an alternative, sustainable, economic process that could be applied for mass BCP.
