Abstract

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) hydrogel spheroid plays a significant role in diverse fields due to its spatial 3D structure and properties. In the present work, a series of BC spheroids with controllable size and shape was obtained via an in situ biosynthesis. Crucial factors for fabricating BC spheroid including inoculum concentration of 1.35 × 10³ CFU/mL, shaking speeds at 100 r/min, and 48-96 h incubation time during the biosynthetic process, were comprehensively established. An operable mechanism model for tuning the size of BC spheroids from 0.4 to 5.0 mm was proposed with a fresh feeding medium strategy of dynamic culture. The resulting BC spheroids exhibit an interactive 3D network of nanofibers, a crystallinity index of 72.3 %, a specific surface area of 91.2 m²/g, and good cytocompatibility. This study reinforces the understanding of BC spheroid formation and explores new horizons for the design of BC spheroids-derived functional matrix materials for medical care.
