IDENTIFICATION OF WASTE UTILIZING BACTERIA FROM FRUIT WASTE

Sanchita Verma, Lakhvinder Kaur

Abstract :

Various types of waste are generated everyday in extensive quantities, generating a significant problem in its management and disposal. Many methods could achieve sustainable development, methods that could not only improve waste management but could also lead to the production of industrially important chemicals, materials, and fuels. Valorization of waste is a process that involves conversion of waste materials into more useful products like chemicals, materials, and fuels. Food waste valorization is one of the current research areas as an alternative to the disposal of a wide range of organic waste using microorganisms as one of the strategies. Bacterial cellulose is produced by several species of Acetobacter and because of its unique properties; it has advantages over plant cellulose. Today, this biopolymer has numerous applications at many industrial fields. In this study, isolates of biocellulose (BC)-producing strains were isolated from fruit waste and coconut husk. The isolates were selected from each of the source (fruit waste and coconut husk). Then fruit waste and coconut husk were screened for the identification of potential bacteria.
