  4. Abstract:
  5. Fabrication of scaffolds with enhanced mechanical properties and desirable cellular compatibility is critical for numerous tissue engineering applications. This study was aimed at fabrication and characterization of a nanofiber skin substitute composed of collagen (Col)/sodium alginate (SA)/ polyethylene oxide (PEO)/Rhodotorula mucilaginosa sp. GUMS16 produced exopolysaccharides (EPS) were prepared using the biaxial electrospinning technique. This study used collagen extracted from the bovine tendon as a natural scaffold, sodium alginate as an absorber of excess wound fluids, and GUMS16 produced exopolysaccharides as an antioxidant. Collagen was characterized using FTIR and EDS analyses. The cross-linked nanofibers were characterized by SEM, FTIR, tensile, contact-angle, swelling test, MTT, and cell attachment techniques. The average diameter of Col nanofiber was 910 ± 89 nm. The Col and Col-SA/PEO non-woven mats' water contact angle measurement was 41.6o and 56.4o, Col/EPS1%, Col/EPS2%, Col-SA/PEO + EPS1%, and Col-SA/PEO + EPS2% were 61.4o, 58.3o, 38.5o, and 50.6o, respectively. Cell viability of more than 100% was shown in Col-SA/PEO + EPS nanofibers. Also, SEM images of cells on nanofiber scaffolds demonstrated that all nanofibers incorporated with GUMS16-produced EPS have good cell growth and proliferation. The acquired results expressed that the GUMS16-produced EPS can be considered a novel biomacromolecule in electrospun fibers that increase cell viability and proliferation. © 2021
