The conditions used to produce bacterial cellulose and its subsequent modification. Samples codes: BCN—bacterial cellulose native; BC—bacterial cellulose pre-treated; mG—BC pre-treated and modified with glycerol; G_BC—BC produced in the media with AP; G_mG—BC produced in the media with AP, pre-treated and modified with glycerol; mGApp10, mGApp20, mGApp30, mGApp40, mGApp50, and mGApp60—BC pre-treated then modified with glycerol and AP at a concentration indicated by the number; G_mGApp30 and G_mGApp50—BC produced in the media with AP, pre-treated followed by modification with glycerol and AP at a concentration indicated by the number.
