Biocellulose for Dialysis Biocellulose for Dialysis

Methods Methods Fig 9 and 10 Growth All bacterias were cultivated at 37 °C and 225 rpm. Colonies were picked from the agar plates and cultivated overnight. The overnight culture was diluted in fresh medium. The growth was monitored by determining the optical densitiy at 600 nm with a nanophotometer. To compare the efficiency of the bioreactor all experiments were done in the BR1000 (1 ml) as well as in the Erlenmeyer flask (50 ml) .

The Biocellulose membrane has a 3 D

fiber structure and consists of cellulose

nanofibres. Biocellulose is synthesized

by Acetobacter. It is mechanical and

chemical stable.

The first available Biocellulose

membrane is autoclavable, it is

biocompatible, has protein binding

<10 µg/cm2 of BSA and is storable as a

dried membrane.

Biocellulose cut off 140 kDa can be

combined with dialysis devices from

scienova compatible to micro plate

format. The dialysis efficiency is in the

same range as for regenerated cellulose.

Biocellulose is known as biocompatible. A BR1000 with

Biocellulose membrane was tested as membrane reactor for

the culture of gram-negative and -positive bacteria compared

with usual Erlmeyer flask culture. The growth curve

progression was mostly similar. Cell density was lower. The

reason could be a lower oxygen maintenance.

Fig 6 Sieve curve: Microdialyzer were filled with 1 ml of the sample and placed in 2.7 ml of the dialyses buffer at room temperature. The solutions were not changed during the whole process. Dialyses buffer was not adjusted. Determination of retention after 48 h dialysis. Optical density were measured by nanoDrop. (test

substances: fluerescence particle (700 kDa), IgG (150 kDa), bovine serum albumin (67 kDa), Streptavidin (60 kDa), horseradish peroxidase (44 kDa), Casein (20 kDa)

Fig 7 Equilibrium: scienova Xpress Equilibrium Dialyzer ED300 either with regenerated cellulose 6-8 kDa cut off or with Biocellulose 140 kDa, each were filled with 300 µl 1mM Paranitrophenole in PBS and dialysed against 1.2 ml PBS pH7.4 in a 96 well Riplate at ambient temperature. Measurement of absorbance were performed at 420 nm (ref. 620 nm).
