Description

Ronagul Turganova and co-authors review a material grown by microbes that could wrap food in place of plastic. Their 2025 paper covers bacterial cellulose, a pure fiber made as microbes ferment. It is strong, breaks down in nature, and can be shaped in many ways, which suits a world worried by food waste and plastic waste.

The review follows set rules for picking studies and drew on three large databases, with work from 1960 to late 2025. It covers how the fiber is grown, how its inner build is laid out, and how changes can boost its strength and its power to block air and kill germs. New work in gene-based design and green chemistry gets a place as well.
