This reference book provides updated information on the production and industrial significance of bacterial cellulose. Bacterial cellulose is a natural fiber produced by certain microbes, mainly bacteria which belong to the Acetobacter genera. The book discusses its applications in different industrial sectors like food, pharmaceutical, energy and wastewater treatment. It covers the production of cellulose from conventional and renewable feedstocks. It includes topics like downstream processing, characterization, and chemical modification of bacterial cellulose. Key features- Addresses the challenge on the production technologies of bacterial cellulose up to pilot-scale Discusses cost-effective, green processes using agri-processing residues and medium formulation Includes efficient preparation of nano-composite using in vitro and in vivo methods Provides latest applications of bacterial cellulose in food and pharmaceuticals fields Reviews the production of bacterial from conventional feedstocks like sugars and starches This book is meant for industry experts and researchers of applied microbiology, bioprocesses, and industrial microbiology.
