Enzymatic functionalization of bacterial nanocellulose: current approaches and future prospects by Monika Kaczmarek, Aneta Monika Białkowska

“…The employment of enzymes for the targeted alteration of this material’s properties is based on either a direct method, such as controlled hydrolysis and nanofication [i.e., synthesis of different morphological forms of bacterial cellulose (e.g., rod-shaped nanocrystals)] using cellulases, and/or attachment of reactive functional groups into the polymer structure via oxidation (e.g., utilizing a laccase/TEMPO catalytic system or lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases) and esterification catalyzed by lipases; or an indirect procedure involving the application of bacterial nanocellulose as a matrix for enzyme immobilization (e.g., laccase, glucose oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, lysozyme, bromelain, lipase, papain), thus creating a specific catalytic system. …”
