THE STATE AND PROSPECTS OF IMPROVING THE METHODS OF OBTAINING AND USING BACTERIAL CEL-LULOSE (REVIEW)

Abstract

Any material that we encounter in the world around us does not have such a widespread use as bacterial cellulose. This kind of unique material gained its popularity in the 20th century and became an excellent source for research. Its acquisition and practical application in various areas of our life activity is currently quite important. In addition, thanks to a wide range of studies aimed at the basics of its production, many promising areas of using by-products of the food industry as a source of energy for growth have been identified, which makes this material more environmentally friendly than its plant counterpart. Despite its rich history of studying and obtaining bacterial cellulose, it is still considered to be not fully studied material. This makes it possible for researchers to identify new sources of energy for the growth of bacterial cellulose, to improve the quality and increase its quantity, both in the laboratory and on an industrial scale, as well as to look for more and more new areas of its application, where it would seem it has no place. In the modern scientific world, bacterial cellulose is one of the promising sources of scientific research and further technological applications.
