“…High crystallinity, high water holding capacity, high porosity, and mechanical strength suggest BC as a potential bioadsorbent, offering applications in a wide field of interest. BC was applied for removal of heavy metals like mercury , arsenic , cadmium , and lead , which confirms its potential as an effective adsorbent. Adsorption of mercury was reasonably fast and the processing time of more than 10 Min had no effect on the adsorption rate .…”

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising natural polymer that is produced by bacteria and that has unique and desirable structural, physical, and chemical properties. From the time when the remarkable properties of BC were found 15 years ago compared with plant cellulose, interest has grown in BC and it has become an article of trade in diverse applications. Following this trend, this paper reviews the progress of relevant studies, including general information about cellulose, production by microorganisms as well as BC cultivation, and its properties. The applications reviewed in the present article comprise biological and nonbiological fields. The latest use of BC in the biomedical, environmental, agricultural, electronic, food, and industrial fields is discussed with its applications in composite form. The present article attempts to amass the assorted uses of BC under one umbrella. Thus, recent advances in BC applications in different fields are thoroughly reviewed. This article concludes with the need for future research of BC to make it commercialized as vital biomaterial.

“…When BNC is grown statically, a film of cellulose nanofibers, typically referred to as a pellicle, forms at the surface of the culture medium. In agitated cultures, BNC with spherical shape has been produced (Hu and Catchmark, 2010;Zhu et al, 2011). The formation of BNC at the air-water interface enables the formation of robust structures from 2D films with controlled microtopography to different types of 3D morphologies.…”

“…There are some types of culture methods used in BC production, named as static, and agitated. Under static culture conditions, a gelatinous membrane of BC is accumulated on the culture surface, and under agitated culture conditions, BC is produced as an irregular mass such as granule, pellet, and fibrous strand (Watanabe et al 1998;Krystynowicz et al 2002;Zhu et al 2011). Watanabe et al (1994) have compared BCs produced by static and agitated fermentation; they reported that agitated fermentation resulted with a lower degree of polymerization and crystallinity than static fermentation.…”

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a homopolymer and it is distinguished from plant-based cellulose by its unique properties such as high purity, high crystallinity, high water-holding capacity, and good biocompatibility. Microalgae are unicellular, photosynthetic microorganisms and are known to have high protein, starch, and oil content. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris was evaluated as source of glucose for the production of BC. To increase the starch content of algae the effect of nutrient starvation (nitrogen and sulfur) and light deficiency were tested in a batch assay. The starch contents (%) were 5.27 ± 0.04, 7.14 ± 0.18, 5.00 ± 0.08, and 1.35 ± 0.04 for normal cultivation, nitrogen starvation, sulfur starvation, and dark cultivation conditions, respectively. The performance of enzymatic and acidic methods was compared for the starch hydrolysis. This study demonstrated for the first time that acid hydrolysate of algal starch can be used to substitute glucose in the fermentation medium of Komagataeibacter hansenii for BC production. Glucose was used as a control for BC production. BC production yields on dry weight basis were 1.104 ± 0.002 g/L and 1.202 ± 0.005 g/L from algae-based glucose and glucose, respectively. The characterization of both BCs produced from glucose and algae-based glucose was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results have shown that the structural characteristics of algae-based BC were comparable to those of glucose-based BC.
