Microbial-derived materials are emerging for applications in biomedicine, sensors, food, cosmetics, construction, and fashion. They offer considerable structural properties process reproducibility compared to other bio-based materials. However, challenges related efficient sustainable large-scale production of microbial-derived must be addressed exploit their potential fully. This review analyzes the synergistic contribution circular, sustainable, biotechnological approaches enhance bacterial cellulose (BC) fine-tune its physico-chemical properties. BC was chosen as an ideal example due mechanical strength chemical stability, making it promising industrial applications. The discusses upcycling strategies that utilize waste microbial fermentation, simultaneously boosting production. Additionally, biotechnology techniques identified key yield tailor Among different areas where cellulose-based employed, shows promise mitigating environmental impact garment industry. emphasizes integrating circular could significantly improve tunability these may provide benefits, depending on future progresses. Future advancements should prioritize fermentation expand

The development of new strategies to produce nanomaterials that can be used as personal protective equipment with antiviral activity and low toxicity is crucial. Electrospun ultrathin fibers have attracted considerable attention due their potential for biomedical applications, including activity. Herein, we electrospun different grades commercially available polyamide investigate against SARS-CoV-2 Gamma lineage (P.1). We evaluated the morphology, chemical composition, mechanical properties fibers. also investigated in vitro cytotoxicity, hemolytic activity, (P.1) developed had following diameters elastic moduli: (i) unmodified crude (PAP) 0.59 μm 3 MPa, (ii) Biotech (PAAM) 0.74 2.2 (iii) Amni Virus-Bac OFF (PAVB) 0.69 1.06 MPa. PAP showed increased compared other (PAAM PAVB). None cytotoxicity at lowest concentration (12.5%). Additionally, hemolysis tests demonstrated a nonhemolytic profile all fiber groups, reinforcing biocompatibility suitability applications. fibers, combined noncytotoxic characteristics, highlight protection SARS-CoV-2.
