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, such as food, pharmaceutical, energy, and wastewater treatment. It covers the production of cellulose from conventional and renewable feedstock and includes topics such as downstream processing, characterization, and chemical modification of bacterial cellulose.

FEATURES:

Addresses the challenges of 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 nanocomposites using in vitro and in vivo methods
Provides the latest applications of bacterial cellulose in the food and pharmaceuticals fields
Reviews the production of bacterial cellulose from conventional feedstock such as sugars and starches

This book is designed for industry experts and researchers of applied microbiology, bioprocesses, and industrial microbiology.
