In the contemporary generation, rapid urbanization, industrialization, and declining woodland lead to global weather modifications. The massive scale of deforestation for firewood, constructions, paper products, textile, and plenty of different packages are steadily enforcing a critical poor impact on the surroundings. Inherently, plant cellulose has restrained utility because of the presence of hemicellulose and lignin. Consequently, studies in the discipline of microbial cellulose display many benefits over plant cellulose. It possesses numerous crucial and unique properties compared to plant cellulose, including high purity, better absorptivity, excellent polymerization, crystallization, in-situ mold potential, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and plenty of others. This assessment looks into a potent cellulose producer to develop an economically feasible manner for huge-scale production of microbial cellulose therefore, it may replace some of the requirements where plant cellulose has been currently in use.
