Abstract

The bacterial cellulose is produced by various bacteria, has proven itself versatile biomaterial as compared to the plant cellulose. Bacterial cellulose is gaining attention day by day because researchers are focusing on low-cost preparation and production of cellulose in high quality as well as quantity. This review article represents all information about unique structure, fermentative production, sources, factors, purification, and some biomedical and industrial applications of bacterial cellulose.
