" And finally the mushroom itself. Many potential high value markets
exist for thin film bacterial cellulose, including
acoustic diaphragms , artificial skin, artificial blood vessels, liquid
loaded medical pads, super-sorbers and specialty
membranes. Potential markets for bacterial cellulose produced as pellets
in agitated culture include the mining industry,
the oil industry, foods, and the pulp and paper industry.

"When Prof. Henneberg recommends using pure cultures, he means by that
nothing more than cultivating both constituent part - Bacterium xylinum
and the Pombe yeast - separately, and only then bringing them together.
Preparing the beverage at home, of course, one has to continue working
with the already combined constituents of the culture.
The sum up, one may say: The principal constituents Schizosaccharomyces
pombe and Bacterium (Acetobacter) xylinum are both unhesitatingly attested
in the writings of the experts. An exception to this is Wiechowski (1928),
who considers Bacterium gluconicum to be the principal bacterium and
Bacterium xylinum next in order of importance. Irrespective of these,
other bacteria and yeasts are mentioned as being constituent elements,
whose presence however varies."
