Commonly used production methods for bacterial cellulose.

Production Method Production	Fermentation Characteristics	Bacterial Cellulose Appearence
Static production	Predominantly used on laboratory scale; Fermentation process up to two weeks [86].	Homogenous film/membrane
Agitated production	Increase in O2 delivery to microorganism; May result in lower production yield [87].	Pellets
Airlift bioreactor (ABR) production	Increase in O2 delivery to microorganism [11].	Pellets
Rotating disc bioreactor (RDB) production	Yield similar to that of static production [88].	Homogenous film/membrane
Trickle bed reactor (TBR) production	Increase in O2 delivery to microorganism; Lower sheer force [89].	Irregular cellulose membrane
