Biological functional properties

Polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in most lipid classes, but they are especially important as acyl chains of the phospholipids where they contribute to the particular physical and biologic functional properties of the membranes (1, 2). 

Although the chemical structures of plant and bacterial cellulose are identical, the physical stmcture of bacterial cellulose is unique, being composed of ultrafine fibers that form an ultrafine network. The mechanical properties of bacterial cellulose are also unique. In this chapter, the mechanism of acetic acid bacteria cellulose biosynthesis, and its biological functions, properties, and industrial applications, are described. 

In this chapter, the mechanism of biosynthesis, and the biological functions, properties, and industrial applications of cellulose derived from acetic acid bacteria, were described.
