Abstract
Bacterial cellulose, synthesized by bacteria, is one of the most highly pure cellulose sources. It has gained a great attention due to its unique properties. With molecular similarity to cellulose derived from plants, bacterial cellulose can be modified based on diverse techniques established for the plant-derived cellulose. Modification of cellulose has become one of the major areas of cellulose research to provide cellulose-based materials with novel properties. The progress in cellulose science has also opened up more potentials for bacterial cellulose. This chapter describes an overview of biosyntheses, modifications, and applications of bacterial cellulose.
