| Abstract | Bacterial cellulose-chitosan (BC-C) films were developed by immersing purified BC pellicles in 1.5 ~ 2.0% (w/v) acetic acid solutions containing chitosan of varying molecular weights. Effects of different molecular weight of chitosan on physical, biological and antimicrobial properties of the composite films were investigated. The cumulative chitosan absorption capacities with M$_{w}$ of 141,000, 199,000, and 263,000 were 38.43, 24.65, and 23.89 mg/cm$^{3}$ of dry BC film, respectively. The cumulative release profiles of chitosan from the films strongly depended on molecular weight of chitosan and pH of solution. The order of release of chitosan from the BC-C films was dependent on molecular weight as follows: M$_{w}$ 141,000 > M$_{w}$ 199,000 > M$_{w}$ 263,000. All BC-C films showed the antimicrobial abilities against Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger but had no inhibitory effect on the growth of Escherichia coli. The BC-C films supported for adhesion, spreading and proliferation of both human skin keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The antibacterial activity against S. aureus of the BC-C with the highest Mw chitosan (263,000) was higher than those of the others. On the other hand, the BC-C films with the lowest M$_{w}$ chitosan (141,000) promoted the growth of human skin cells more than those of the others. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
