Komagataeibacter hansenii explained

Komagataeibacter hansenii is a species of acetic acid bacteria, notable as the model organism for the biosynthesis of bacterial cellulose^{[1] [2]}

Bacterial cellulose

Scientists have figured out a way to produce bacterial cellulose by Komagataeibacter hansenii using only waste beer yeast as nutrient source.^[3]
