The study involved the use of a bacterial strain isolated from environmental samples which produce the biopolymer in the form of pellets in the submerged culture. This material (bacterial exopolysaccharide) is produced by bacteria of the Komogateibacter xylinus which are prevalent in the environment. The aim of this study was to characterize bacterial exopolysaccharides and commercial dextran-based “microcarriers” in terms of their roughness and cell culture effects, including the morphology and viability of the human hybridoma vascular endothelial cell line EA.hy926. The pellets were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic for¬ce microscopy (AFM). The resulting structures were used for cell culture of adherent cells (anchorage¬-dependent cells). At the same time, the cultures with commercial, dextran-based “microcarriers” were carried out for comparative purposes. After com¬pletion of the cell culture (24 hours of culture), the cellulose and commercial “carriers” were analyzed using SEM and AFM. Finally, the obtained cell dens¬ities (fluorescence labelling) and their morphological characteristics (SEM) were compared. The obtained results strongly support the applicability of bacterial exopolysaccharide (EPS) in tissue engineering to build innovative 3D scaffolds for cell culture, the more so that it is technologically possible to produce EPS as spatially complex structure

Lab-on-a-chip systems are promising tools in the field of cell engineering. Microfluidic systems are integrated microlaboratories consisting of many microstructures such as microchannels and microchambers, which can be used for cell analysis and cell culture. Appropriately designed geometry of the chip allows to mimic in vivo conditions. Microsystems enables continuous culture medium perfusion. During cell culture, regulation of the flow rate of medium is possible, which allows to control conditions of the cultivation. In this paper we present a review of microfluidics systems which are used in cell engineering. We describe methods of microsystems fabrication, parameters which influence cell proliferation in microscale and examples of microsystems for cell analysis and cell culturing. Microfluidic systems for maintaining cell culture are mainly fabricated of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and glass, non-toxic materials for cells. The most commonly used method for fabrication of PDMS microsystems is photolithography and replica molding techniques. Cell culture in microsystems can be carried out in two ways: as a two-dimensional (2D) cell culture and three-dimensional (3D) cell culture. In two-dimensional culture cells grow as a monolayer on a flat surface of microchambers or microchannels. Microsystems for two-dimensional cell culture are widely described in the literature. They are mainly used for: (i) cell proliferation after exposure to external stimuli, (ii) testing the activity of cytotoxic drugs, (iii) interactions and cell migration and (iv) the evaluation of procedures applicable in tumor therapy e. g. photodynamic therapy. However, two-dimensional cell culture do not mimic fully in vivo conditions. In living organisms cells grow spatially creating three-dimensional structures like tissues. Therefore, nowadays microsystems for 3D cell culture are being developed intensively. Three-dimensional cell culture in microfluidic systems can be achieved in three ways: by the design of suitable geometry and topography of microchannels, by the use of hydrogels or by spheroids formation. Three-dimensional cell culture in microfluidic systems are much better experimental in vitro models than cell culture in traditional culture vessels. It is the main reason why microsystems should be still improved, as to become widely used research tools in cellular engineering.
