Definitions

  • the subjects of the present invention are a method for the production of bacterial cellulose, a method of immobilising the bacteria Bacillus subtilis, synthesizing a protease, a method for the production of immobilised biocatalysts, an application of bacterial cellulose produced in a stationary culture of an Acetobacter xylinum strain as a wound dressing, a method of modifying cellulose membranes in order to produce wound dressings.
  • the present invention relates to the synthesis of cellulose which forms a gelatinous, elastic membrane on the surface of a liquid medium in stationary conditions.
  • the present invention also relates to the application of bacterial cellulose as a carrier for the production of immobilised biocatalysts, as well as a method for the application of bacterial cellulose as a wound dressing in the treatment of extensive 1, 2 and 3 degree burns and surgical incisions, which is used in the form of cellulose membranes of arbitrary size and shape.
  • the subjects of the present invention are used in the production of wound dressings in the form of cellulose membranes of arbitrary size and shape.
  • Cellulose is an unbranched homopolysaccharide, composed of ⁇ -D-glucopyranose units connected by ⁇ -l,4-glycosidic bonds.
  • Bacterial cellulose is a highly crystalline cellulose, with a high I ⁇ [33; 10] fraction content.
  • the glucan chains synthesized by bacteria bind to form elementary cellulose sub-fibrils some 1,5 nm wide These are some of the thinnest naturally appearing fibrils, comparable only with the elementary cellulose fibrils discovered in the cambium of some plants, and the mucus from Cydonia oblonga [18].
  • Bacterial cellulose is synthesized by several genera of bacteria, of which the best known are strains of the vinegar-producing genus Acetobacter.
  • the synthesis of type and cellulose by Acetobacter xylinum, as well as by other organisms capable of it, is composed of at least two stages: 1) polymerisation of glucose molecules to form a linear ⁇ -1,4 glucan, 2) and the binding and crystallisation of individual polymer chains to form larger structural units.
  • Electron microscopy of negative-stained cellulose produced by an Acetobacter xylinum [14] culture has shown the hierarchic character of spatial cellulose accumulation. Firstly, 10-15 ⁇ -l,4-glucan chains form a subf ⁇ bril some 1,5 nm wide. The subfibrils bind and form microf ⁇ brils (3,0- do 3,5 nm) composed of numerous parallel chains.
  • citrate Among other carbon compounds used in this process, citrate, gluconate and lactate should be mentioned. Geyer et al. [7] showed that citrate can me metabolised by Acetobacter, but only when the medium contained both citrate and glucose, where the latter will be utilised first, and the citrate after it has been depleted. It was also noted that citrate has a beneficial effect on the synthesis of cellulose. Other authors indicate gluconates as one of the possible carbon sources in cellulose [13]. Masaoka et al. [19] show that gluconates accumulated in the medium, up to a concentration of 20 g/1, were utilised by the bacteria. Matsuoka et al.
  • lactate (0.15% v/v) added to a medium containing fructose, yeast extract and peptopne as a nitrogen source, exhibits a stimulating effect on the production of bacterial cellulose.
  • mixed cultures were maintained, containing bacteria producing acetic acid and lactic acid. The best results were obtained using strains of Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc and Pediococcus. These bacteria were also cultured in the presence of the yeast Sacharomyces in order to hydrolyse saccharose using ⁇ -fruktofiiranosidase.
  • This method helps increase the efficiency of BC synthesis, because after 14 days of mass culture some 8,1 g cellulose were obtained from 1 litre of medium, as compared to thr 6,4 g/1 obtained without using Lactobacillus [31]. Ethanol may also be one of the stimulating factors of BC synthesis [21].
  • the results from a continuous culture of Acetobacter xylinum using a medium containing fructose and ethanol show that an ethanol concentration of 10 g/1 significantly increases BC synthesis efficiency, whereas at 15 g/1 it is inhibitory. Based on these results, it may be surmised that just as for lactate, the ethanol acts as a source of energy accumulated as ATP, and is not a substrate for cellulose synthesis.
  • ATP activates fructokinase, and inhibits glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, thereby inhibiting the conversion of 6-phosphoglucose to 6- phosphogluconates. It was also noted that the addition of ethanol to the culture medium helped prevent the spontaneous mutation of the Acetobacter sp. A9 strain into the Ce ⁇ form, which is incapable of synthesizing cellulose. The precise mechanism driving this phenomenon is not understood, however. Research into the effects of vitamins on BC synthesis has shown that the best stimulators are pirydoxin, nicotinic acid, p-aminobenzoic acid, and biotin [12, 20]. Fontana et al. [5] successfully used plant extracts, particularly from black tea, which contained components which stimulate cellulose synthesis.
  • Bacterial cellulose biosynthesis can be maintained both in stationary cultures and in liquid mass cultures. Generally, the selection of the method to be employed is dependent upon the planned use of the synthesized polymer [16]. The control over the process is greatly complicated in a stationary culture by a membrane which forms on the surface of the medium, which in turn limits access to the medium.
  • BC synthesis in stationary conditions can occur using a single-step procedure (a medium inoculated with a 5-10% inoculate) or a two-step procedure [2]. The latter also includes a liquid culture stage in order to amplify the biomass, and then a continuation in a stationary culture [22].
  • Ce ⁇ a culture's instability characterised by a tendency for the strains to spontaneously mutate into inactive forms.
  • An unstable strain can be successfully used in a stationary culture, in which bacterial growth and cellulose synthesis occurs at the air-medium phase border. Ce ⁇ cells are favoured in a shaken culture, in which the growth of Cet bacteria is limited by the rate of oxygen dissolution and cell aggregation by the synthesized cellulose (which limits oxygen access).
  • Bacterial cellulose may also be produced in a continuous stationary culture [26]. Acetobacter xylinum cells are in this case cultured on trays, on SH medium.
  • the cellulose membrane produced on the medium's surface is continuously fed into a bath in a solution of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in order to inactivate the cells, and is then rolled onto a special roller.
  • SDS sodium dodecyl sulphate
  • This process was maintained for several weeks, at a rate of 35 mm/h, and periodic replenishment of the medium (every 8-12 hours), in order to maintain optimal culture conditions. In this way, a 5 m long cellulose belt was produced which indicates the possible utility of this method in industrial processes.
  • Another described method of cellulose synthesis is an Acetobacter culture in horizontal bioreactors equipped with w rotating rollers, on which the produced polymer accumulated [27].
  • Bacterial cellulose has great utility in medicine, particularly as a wound dressing and for artificial organs. This is due to properties such as being highly crystalline, high mechanical strength, an ability to absorb fluids, and excellent histocompatibility with living tissue, particularly with blood, specially purified cellulose membranes produced in a stationary culture may be a ready wound dressing, which meets all standards for modern dressing materials [17, 5]. It is biocompatible, porous, elastic, easy to apply and easy to store. It maintains optimum moisture during the healing of a wound, and may be sterilised using high temperature.

  • This solution is based on the isolated Acetobacter xylinum strain P23, of the genus Acetobacter, a typically aerobic species characterised in its ability to produce acids from an incomplete oxidation of carbohydrates and alcohols, which exists as oval rods, singly or doubly or arranged into chains, and has an optimal growth temperature of 28-30°C at a pH of 4 -6.5 on solid media containing glucose, yeast extract, peptone, and agar.

They were then washed with distilled water to rinse away any unbound protein. Compared with unmodified cellulose, oxidized cellulose binds about 2 times as much protein, meaning ca. 60%>.
  • Example 20 The cellulose membrane according to Example 1, was purified and excess water was removed (to 50% of initiall mass). It was then soaked in a solution containing 0,1% chlorohexidine, 6% glycerol, 4% PEG 400. The resulting material retained its elasticity following drying at room temperature, did not cling to skin, was easy to remove without need of prior moistening, and moreover exhibited bacteriocidal properties.

  • the wound surface was an area of 2x3cm. Such a wound surface comprises from 1,9% to 2,5% (on average 2%) of body surface. In the case of bums, such a wound is considered light.
  • the wounds were located on the dorsal side of the animal, below the shoulder blades.
  • sterile cellulose patches were used according to Example 1.
  • One hour prior to the treatment the animals were pre-medicated and then following depilation a surgical wound was produced by removing a patch of skin with a scalpel, to its complete depth, or by producing a bum wound through the application of a steel plate 19x28xlmm heated to 500°C. This method rendered a III degree bum with a surface of 2x3 cm.

These patients were diagnosed free of colagenosis, diabetes, uraemia, malignant tumours and were never treated with cytostatic drugs, radiation, immunosuppression and had not received blood or blood product transfusions. The local treatment of the bum consisted of applying dressings of bacterial cellulose in 10-day cyclesafter cleaning and disinfecting the burned surface. The cellulose membranes were produced according to Example 1 and sterilised through irradiation.
  • Control groupistB was composed of 12 patients selected according to the same criteria as above, locally treated according to standard methods, using dressings of 3% Braunol, 3% boric acid solutions, and salicylate paste in 10 day cycles. Following cleaning and local preparation of the wound, both groups were treated with (depending on medical indication) a skin graft of moderate thickness.
  • the Parcland crystalloid rule was applied during the first day of hospitalisation, and as of the second day, systemic water loss was measured using the haematocrit.
  • the 10 day treatment observation cycle allowed to repeat until such time as the wound was fit for an autogenic skin transplant of moderate thickness. Graft healing was evaluated and documented photographically during the 2 nd , 7 th and 12 th day following the operation. The number of 10 day intervals of preparatory treatment were determined, as was the total time of healing for the wound covered with the graft.
