Abstract

Bacterial cellulose, a unique biomaterial produced by several bacteria, has garnered biomedical interest to its versatility. This could be used in healthcare packaging, and textiles. Bacterial cellulose extraction is effective and affordable since it lacks lignin and hemicellulose. In wound healing, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and regenerative medicine, this material's unique properties have drawn interest. Bacterial cellulose has been studies as a skin substitute for severe burns and non-woven bandages for persistent wounds. In addition, bacterial cellulose has been used to make artificial skin, blood arteries, and wound dressings. Bacterial cellulose is ideal for biopolymer production due to its clean chemical composition, nano-fibrillar structure, and crystalline characteristics. This review explores the processing, content, characteristics, and applications of bacterial cellulose, revealing its function in tissue regeneration and disease resistance. Through careful inquiry and analysis, this work seeks to comprehend bacterial cellulose and its impact on biomedical research and technology.

期刊介绍： Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects. Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence. Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
