“…However, other carbohydrate sources have also been reported, such as fructose [ 76 ], sucrose [ 77 ], galactose [ 78 ], corn steep liquor [ 77 ], and agro-industrial by products [ 79 , 80 ]. This biopolymer is produced via a progression of microbial enzymatic reactions, where the conversion of sugars into dextrose happens and then occurs their polymerization into cellulosic chains [ 81 ]. Molecular studies revealed the collaboration in the supramolecular assembly of cellulose fibrils of certain genetic operons in the cellulosic biosynthesis and extracellular transport.…”

Chronic ulcers are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality due to the high probability of infection and sepsis and therefore exert a significant impact on public health resources. Numerous types of dressings are used for the treatment of skin ulcers-each with different advantages and disadvantages. Bacterial cellulose (BC) has received enormous interest in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and medical fields due to its biological, physical, and mechanical characteristics, which enable the creation of polymer composites and blends with broad applications. In the medical field, BC was at first used in wound dressings, tissue regeneration, and artificial blood vessels. This material is suitable for treating various skin diseases due its considerable fluid retention and medication loading properties. BC membranes are used as a temporary dressing for skin treatments due to their excellent fit to the body, reduction in pain, and acceleration of epithelial regeneration. BC-based composites and blends have been evaluated and synthesized both in vitro and in vivo to create an ideal microenvironment for wound healing. This review describes different methods of producing and handling BC for use in the medical field and highlights the qualities of BC in detail with emphasis on biomedical reports that demonstrate its utility. Moreover, it gives an account of biomedical applications, especially for tissue engineering and wound dressing materials reported until date. This review also includes patents of BC applied as a wound dressing material.

“…Purification of BC is not necessary such as plant cellulose because it is free of lignin and hemicellulose. Additionally, since BC occurs in nano-sized cellulose fiber dimension, high crystallinity [ 3 ], high Young's modulus [ 4 ], and biocompatibility [ 5 ], BC is fascinating and regarded as an excellent renewable biomaterial [ 6 ]. Various effort has been reported to use BC for sustainable and functional material such as electromagnetic interference shielding [ 7 ], osmotic energy harvesting [ 8 ], colorimetric sensor [ 9 ]removal of bisphenol A [ 10 ], dental application [ 11 ], medical application [ 12 ], dairy industry [ 13 ], wastewater treatment [ 14 ], textile material [ 15 ] anti-microbial food packaging [ 16 ].…”

“…Hence, numerous agricultural industry by-products decreased the BC production cost and developed the yield. In terms of agro-industry waste utilization, several evaluations have been studied, such as the use of corn stover [ 19 ], waste of date syrup and food-grade sucrose industry [ 6 ], rotten guava [ 20 ], oat hulls [ 21 ], confectionary wastes [ 22 ], even from kitchen waste [ 23 ].…”
