Gluconacetobacter hansenii is a species of acetic acid bacteria, notable as the model organism for the biosynthesis of bacterial cellulose[2][3]

Bacterial cellulose

Scientists have figured out a way to produce bacterial cellulose by Gluconacetobacter hansenii using only waste beer yeast as nutrient source.[4]
