Some properties of bacterial cellulose (BC) Gluconacetobacter hansenii (Gossele et al.) after production were determined and compared with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The BC test specimens were prepared with standard Hestrin and Schramm (HS) medium. The obtained pellicels were evaluated after 14 days incubation. According to SEM analysis the diameter of the cellulose fibrils were measured between 20 nm and 75 nm. The water holding capacity was calculated 91 to 109 times higher than dry weigth. The cellulose yield of BC was between 0,81 g/l and 0,84 g/l. XRD, FTIR and TGA analysis were done and compared with MCC. The obtained results and comparison between the strain and MCC showed similiraty. According to the results the obtained BC can be used for food, cosmetic, medicine, paper and composites as raw material or filler.
