Sci. Technol.The increasing global market’s need for leather is not matched by sufficient production. Furthermore, leather production itself has negative impacts on the environment. An alternative for leather products is needed in order to establish sustainable leather production. The aim of this research is to provide meaningful information to better understand the potency of Cilembu microbial cellulose as a sustainable alternative to leather. Indonesian sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas ‘Cilembu’ is used as a raw material to make microbial cellulose. Various concentrations (100 g/L, 150 g/L, 250 g/L, and 500 g/L) were used in this research. The cellulose thickness and dry weight were measured in various Cilembu sweet potato concentrations and the microstructure was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy to give insightful information about this biomaterial product. The results show that the culture medium with 500 g/L Cilembu sweet potato concentration gives the best result (13 mm thickness and 0.24 g dry weight) among the other treatments. The microstructure shows that different concentrations of the Cilembu medium can form the same microstructure of microbial cellulose fibers as tea medium. The size of the cord’s cellulose is approximately 25-100 nm.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Bio cellulose,Ipomoea batatas ‘Cilembu’,Leather,Microbe,Sustainable material[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our lecturer Ernawati Arifin Giri-Rachman, M.Si., Ph.D. and Dr. Indra Wibowo S.Si., M.Sc. for supporting our research, the School of Life Sciences and Technology, and our institution Bandung Institute of Technology.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
