红茶菌菌膜的特性及应用

Progress on Characteristics and Applications of Kombucha Biofilm

红茶菌菌膜是漂浮在红茶菌饮料表面的由细菌和酵母菌在胞外形成的纤维素生物膜,具有高持水性、高机械强度、良好的热稳定性、生物相容性及可降解性等优良特性,因此在许多领域具有广阔的应用前景。作者综述了红茶菌菌膜中微生物的组成和共生关系、合成机制、红茶菌菌膜的结构和性质,以及红茶菌菌膜在食品、医疗、纺织和废水处理等领域的应用,并对红茶菌菌膜的未来应用进行了展望。

Kombucha biofilm is a cellulose biofilm containing the symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast,floating on the surface of kombucha beverages.Due to its properties of high water-holding capacity and mechanical strength,good thermal stability,biocompatibility,and degradability,it has a broad application prospect.The authors review the composition and symbiotic relationship of microorganisms in kombucha biofilms,the synthesis mechanism of bacteria cellulose,the structure and properties,and the applications in food technology,medical materials,textile industry,waste water treatment and other fields.The future research and applications of kombucha biofilm are also discussed.
