Abstrakt: No other material in the world around us can equal bacterial cellulose in terms of the application scope. This is a kind of unique material that gained popularity in the 20th century and provided an excellent target of scientific inquiry. Its production and practical application in various areas of human activity are currently of much importance. Also, a broad range of research into the basic principles of bacterial cellulose production revealed many promising applications for food industry byproducts as energy sources for its growth, which makes this material more environmentally friendly than its plant-derived analog. Despite rich research and production history, bacterial cellulose is still considered to be a not fully studied material. This allows researchers to identify new energy sources for the growth of bacterial cellulose, to improve its quality, and to increase its quantity both on laboratory and industrial scales, and also to expand the application of bacterial cellulose to areas where, it would seem, it does not belong. In the modern scientific world, bacterial cellulose holds much promise as a matter for scientific inquiry and further technological applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
