A novel Komagataeibacter rhaeticus UNIWA AAK2 strain was used to produce bacterial cellulose (BC), valorizing brewers’ spent grain (BSG) and brewer’s spent yeast (BSY). Under optimal conditions (controlled pH = 6 and 30 g/L sugars), a maximum BC of 4...

N,N′-diacetylchitobiose, also known as GlcNAc2, is a chitin oligosaccharide and is reported to possess antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria. In this study, 1% (w/v) GlcNAc2 solution was applied on ready-to-eat (RTE) shrimp and evaluated...
