TL;DR: The aim of this review is to discuss about the applicability in biomedicine by demonstrating a variety of forms of this biopolymer highlighting in detail some qualities of bacterial cellulose.

TL;DR: In this paper, five commercially available PLA filaments were differentiated by color, as follows: blue (1), gray (2), transparent (3), orange (4), and natural (5) comparing to a pellet pattern.

TL;DR: The main focus of the chapter review involves detailed aspects about the biosynthesis and recent advances on microbial production, including mechanism for the biochemistry of the cellulose syn‐ thesis, new sources for culture medium, main aspects about static and air-reactor produc‐ tions and genetic modifications.

TL;DR: Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer that has fascinating attributes, such as biocompatibility, low cost, and ease of processing, being considered a very interesting biomaterial due to its options for moldability and combination as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a green process was used to attach silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to the surface of two different brands of orthodontic wires and the coated materials were analyzed for their physicochemical properties by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
