Acetobacter spp. bacteria producing biopolymers simultaneously

The products of chemical industry (plastics, resin, etc.) are produced from non-renewable natural resources and therefore heavily pollute the environment. For this reason they should be superseded with biodegradable and biocompatible biopolymers having plastic-like properties such as cellulose and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). We have performed this study to reveal whether it is possible to construct bacteria synthesizing these two biopolymers simultaneously. …

Antimicrobial bacteriophage dressing in chronic wound treatment

Irreparable effects on health, even death cases, caused by chronic wounds, are due to the deficiency of antimicrobials against pathogenic biofilm producing bacteria, coupled with the sunset of the antibiotics era. We have developed a new, highly efficient method for producing the antimicrobial wound dressing. Our method easily allows to modify antimicrobial components of the dressing and ensures their gradual …
