Fashion is one of the most polluting world industries, surpassed only by the petroleum industry. Environmental damages originate from the production, manufacture and dyeing of fabrics, calling for alternative feedstock such as bacterial cellulose. Bacterial cellulose is attracting industrial interest from the textile sector due to advanced properties of bacterial cellulose compared to plant cellulose. For instance, bacterial cellulose is produced by microorganisms in a sustainable way, is biodegradable and does not pollute the environment. Moreover, bacterial cellulose can be dyed, resulting in an attractive textile surface that meets the actual socio-environmental awareness of the industry. Here, we review properties and production methods of bacterial cellulose and applications, focusing on the textile industry. We also discuss the main features of the dyeing process using natural dyes, as well as the registration of patents related to the textile industry, in order to demonstrate the growing application potential in the fashion market. This is the first review that explores the applications of bacterial cellulose related to the textile industry.

时装是世界上污染最严重的行业之一，仅石油行业就已超越。环境损害源于织物的生产，制造和染色，因此需要替代性原料，例如细菌纤维素。由于细菌纤维素与植物纤维素相比具有先进的特性，因此细菌纤维素正吸引着纺织行业的工业兴趣。例如，细菌纤维素是由微生物以可持续方式生产的，可生物降解且不会污染环境。此外，细菌纤维素可以被染色，从而形成吸引人的纺织品表面，满足该行业实际的社会环境意识。在这里，我们回顾一下细菌纤维素的特性和生产方法及其应用，重点是纺织工业。我们还将讨论使用天然染料进行染色的过程的主要特征，以及与纺织工业相关的专利注册，以证明在时装市场上日益增长的应用潜力。这是第一篇探讨细菌纤维素在纺织工业中的应用的综述。
