Abstract

The fashion industry contributes to environmental pollution through its reliance on synthetic materials that are difficult to degrade, creating a pressing need for alternative biomaterials such as bacterial cellulose (BC). This study aims to review the production methods, structural characteristics, and potential applications of BC biofilm for sustainable fashion using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA framework. A total of 380 initial records were retrieved from the Scopus database via Publish or Perish and screened down to 30 final articles (2020–2025), which were analyzed descriptively and mapped bibliometrically using VOSviewer. The review shows that BC can be produced from a wide range of carbon sources, including agro-industrial waste, with yields ranging from 2.10-14.88 g/L and tensile strength varying from 38 MPa in films to approximately 200 MPa in spun yarns, alongside crystallinity reaching 90.5%. BC shows strong potential as a bioleather, textile fiber, fabric coating, and wearable material. Nevertheless, industrial-scale implementation still faces obstacles related to production efficiency, cost, and the limited standardization of mechanical and durability testing. This study recommends the development of more time- and cost-efficient production technologies, together with testing protocols aligned with textile industry standards, to support the transition toward biomaterial-based sustainable fashion.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between air humidity, light intensity, and bryophyte diversity around Coban Putri Waterfall, Batu City, East Java, Indonesia. Sampling was conducted using fifteen purposively placed 20 × 20 cm quadrats distributed among four distance classes from the waterfall (0–10, 10–20, 20–30, and 30–50 m). Bryophyte diversity was evaluated using the Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H′), while air humidity (% RH) and light intensity (lux) were measured using a hygrometer and a light meter, respectively. Three bryophyte morphotypes were recorded: creeping leafy moss, tufted leafy moss, and thalloid liverwort. Air humidity ranged from 30.4 to 31.6% RH, whereas light intensity increased from 20 to 75 lux across the distance gradient. The Shannon–Wiener diversity index ranged from 0.691 to 0.747, indicating low bryophyte diversity throughout the study area. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a weak negative correlation between air humidity and bryophyte diversity (r = −0.388, p = 0.612) and a moderate positive correlation between light intensity and bryophyte diversity (r = 0.538, p = 0.462). However, neither relationship was statistically significant (p > 0.05). The low diversity values were associated with the dominance of creeping leafy moss and tufted leafy moss across all observation sites. These findings indicate that, under the observed environmental conditions, air humidity and light intensity were not significantly associated with bryophyte diversity around Coban Putri Waterfall.
