	Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) has various unique qualities, including high mechanical strength, crystallinity, and high water-holding capacity, which makes it appropriate for a wide range of industrial applications. But its lower yield coupled with its high production cost creates a barrier to its usage. In this study, we have demonstrated the better yield of BNC from an indigenous strain Komagataeibacter rhaeticus MCC-0157 using a rotary disc bioreactor (RDB) having a wooden disc. The RDB was optimized based on the type of disc material, distance between the disc, and rotation speed to get the highest yield of 13.0 g/L dry material using Hestrin-Schramm (H-S) medium. Further, the bioreactor was compared for the BNC production using reported medium, which is used for static condition; the RDB showed up to fivefold increase in comparison with the static condition reported. Komagataeibacter rhaeticus MCC-0157 was previously reported to be one of the highest BNC producing stains, with 8.37 g/L of dry yield in static condition in 15 days incubation. The designed RDB demonstrated 13.0 g/L dry yield of BNC in just 5 days. Other characteristics of BNC remain same as compared with static BNC production, although the difference in the crystallinity index was observed in RDB (84.44%) in comparison with static (89.74%). For the first time, wooden disc was used for rotary bioreactor approach, which demonstrated higher yield of BNC in lesser time and can be further used for sustainable production of BNC at the industrial level. image&lt;/p&gt;

	Oil spillage is one of the serious problems for sustainable environment. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), a hydrophilic and highly porous material holds a promising material for oil-water separation from contaminants. In the present work, a hydrophilic BNC produced from a sorbitol as the carbon source demonstrated the unique porous symmetrical arrangement having an oleophilic property. The BNC membrane obtained showed the highest water holding capacity (WHC) of approximate to 147 gg 1 . The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis of BNC revealed the unique characteristics of isothermic patterns, having macro sized pores with diameter of 121.3 nm and surface area of 40.6m2/g, which plays a vital role in separation of oil from water by allowing passage of only water through it. The separation efficiency of BNC membrane produced after 5th day of incubation has showed 99.0 % oil removal compared to 10 and 15th day incubated BNC membranes. a CFD model to investigate the possibilities of BNC membranes and clarify the dynamics of oil-water separation. The nanostructured network of BNC offers a tortuous path for oil molecules while allowing rapid permeation of water, leading to high separation selectivity and flux. Although BNC has been previously studied for oil water separation, this study provides new insights into the use of wet BNC membranes into its pristine state with sorbitol as carbon source for this application.&lt;/p&gt;

	Tissue engineering, particularly leveraging three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, is emerging as a transformative solution to repair critical-size bone defects. However, identifying suitable biomaterials remains a key technological bottleneck in the field. Toward this broader goal, this study explored a composite bioink containing photocurable silk fibroin (SF) and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) for fabricating scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (BTE) by 3D bioprinting using digital light projection (DLP). We prepared scaffolds with 0, 0.25, and 0.75 wt% BNC and characterized their physicochemical properties (degradation, viscoelasticity, porosity, compressive strength). We assessed samples in simulated body fluid (SBF) after 14 days to evaluate biomineralization. Additionally, using MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells, we examined cell viability, metabolic activity, proliferation, and osteogenic potential through alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Alizarin Red S (ARS), von Kossa, hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;amp;E), and Picrosirius Red assays. The optimized bioinks produced hydrogels with controlled degradation, tunable viscoelasticity, interconnected pores, and significantly improved compressive strength. Specifically, 10 % methacrylated-silk with 0.75 % BNC (Silk-MA/0.75BNC) showed superior mechanical properties compared to 10 % Silk-MA or 10 % Silk-MA with 0.25 % BNC (Silk-MA/0.25BNC). In vitro studies confirmed enhanced biomineralization with Silk-MA/0.75BNC, increased calcium deposits, and improved cell viability and metabolic activity with BNC incorporation. Hence, the 3D-bioprinted composite scaffolds were shown to effectively support cell proliferation, with the 0.75 % BNC bioink significantly stimulating osteogenic markers. These results underscore the potential of Silk-MA/BNC composite bioinks for advanced 3D bioprinting of BTE constructs.&lt;/p&gt;
