Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an organic compound produced by certain types of bacteria. In natural habitats, the majority of bacteria synthesize extracellular polysaccharides, such as cellulose, which form protective envelopes around the cells. Many methods are currently being investigated to enhance cellulose growth. The various celluloses produced by different bacteria possess different morphologies, structures, properties, and applications. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive review of the different methods of BC production, which are critical to BC properties and their final applications. The aims of this review are to provide an overview of the production of BC from different culture methods, to analyze the characteristics of particular BC productions, to indicate existing problems associated with different methods, and to choose suitable culture approaches for BC applications in different fields. The main goals for future studies have also been discussed here.
细菌纤维素(BC)是某些类型的细菌产生的有机化合物。在自然栖息地中,大多数细菌合成细胞外多糖,如纤维素,这些多糖在细胞周围形成保护性包膜。目前正在研究许多方法来促进纤维素的生长。不同细菌产生的各种纤维素具有不同的形态、结构、性质和应用。然而,文献中缺乏对 BC 生产的不同方法的全面综述,这些方法对 BC 的性质及其最终应用至关重要。本综述的目的是概述不同培养方法生产 BC 的情况,分析特定 BC 生产的特点,指出不同方法存在的问题,并选择适合 BC 在不同领域应用的培养方法。还讨论了未来研究的主要目标。
