There are several ways to produce bacterial cellulose and improve its production including various bioreactor types and medium modification. Agri-waste and food processing waste provide low cost substrates and nutrients. I found these review papers helpful:

It is very simple. If you can achieve uniform oxygen mass transfer in simple static culture under surface aeration, can obtain high amount of bacterial cellulose.
I have worked with BC production amd its applications in drug delivery on laboratory scale. We produced BC from few cm wide sheet to 10 cm wide sheet easily.
I need the best medium composition,shaking or static or other conditions, for production high amount of BC. or if you suggest a proposal of industrial production of BC, I will do that.
Hi Mr Munair Badshah , this is only my comment on the question. In microbial cellulose production, we usually use appropriate bacterial strain and to reduce the cost of the production we should use byproducts from other industries. This is also beneficial for the environment.
