Device (1) for producing hollow bodies from a microbial polymer, in particular microbial cellulose, comprising a template (3), which is the negative mold of the cavity of the hollow body to be produced and the inner walls of the cavity, a first reservoir (2) which can be filled with a mixture (10) comprising a liquid culture medium and a polymer-forming microorganism, - a wetting device (6, 7) for wetting the template (3) with the introduced into the reservoir mixture (10), wherein the wetting device, a liquid film on the surface of the template can be generated, - A housing (15) which surrounds at least the template (3) and the reservoir (2) so that a mass transfer with the environment (18) of the housing can be prevented, characterized by - A movement device, whereby the template (3) is rotatable about a plurality of spatial axes. |
