Bacterial cellulose Cellulose is a basic structural material of trees and other plants, and is also produced by bacteria, such as the genera Acetobacter, Sarcina ventriculi and Agrobacterium. Biotechnical aqueous processing has been developed for certain microbes to produce nano-scaled cellulose fibres, which can be mechanically separated from the surface layer of the reactor. Bacterial,
