Abstract

In a recent paper, Shankar et al. present a promising proof-of-concept for bacterial cellulose (BC) production, exhibiting competitive material properties, utilizing ocean water (OW) despite the challenges posed by high salinity. By reducing dependence on freshwater resources, the work highlights both ecological and economic benefits related to current BC production methods.
