“…[143] Interestingly, the pore size of the final structure can also be adjusted by adding pore-forming agents to the liquid culture medium, such as starch, agarose, or paraffin microspheres. [144][145][146] In addition, the purification conditions of BC membranes can also affect the porosity of the final product. Santos et al observed an increase in the total porosity of BC membranes after treating them with NaOH.…”

In recent years, the development of new type wound dressings has gradually attracted more attention. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer material with various unique properties, such as ultrafine three‐dimensional nano‐network structure, high water retention capacity and biocompatibility. These properties allow BC to be used independently or in combination with different components (such as biopolymers and nanoparticles) to achieve diverse effects. This means that BC has great potential as a wound dressing. However, systematic summaries for the production and commercial application of BC‐based wound dressings are still lacked. Therefore, this review provides a detailed introduction to the production fermentation process of BC, including various production strains and their biosynthetic mechanisms. Subsequently, with regard to the functional deficiencies of bacterial cellulose as a wound dressing, recent research progress in this area are enumerated. Finally, prospects are discussed for the low‐cost production and high‐value‐added product development of BC‐based wound dressings.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
