RESUMO

Kombucha is a fermented beverage known as "tea fungus" it is a symbiosis of yeast and acetic acid bacteria that form cellosic pellicle on the surface meium during the fermentation process. Bacterial cellulose differs form plant cellulose to be chemically pure and crystalline, hemicellulose end lignin-free, being a source alternative to traditional plant cellulose to decrease the environmental impact caused by deforestations and the release of highly polluting the production of cellulose by strain isolated form Kombucha. The microorganisms form Kombucha were isolated and identificated and their ability to biosynthesize cellulose were evaluated. The best cellulose producer atrain was identified and culture conditions was evaluated to increase the protuction of cellulose and by combining two microorganisms...
