Bacterial Cellulose Production and its Industrial Applications

Abstract

Sherif MAS Keshk

Microbial cellulose has proven to be a remarkably versatile biomaterial and can be used in wide variety of applied scientific endeavors, such as paper product, electronics and biomedical devices. In fact, biomedical devices recently have gained a significant attention owing to increase in tissue-engineering products for both wound care and the regeneration of demand or diseased organs. So, microbial cellulose production, characterization and influence of additives during its production are important to understand the microbial pathway and create new application.
