Bleached birch kraft pulp (BKP, Södra Cell AB, Sweden) and unmodified bacterial cellulose (BC) pellicles, biosynthesized by the bacterium  Komagataeibacter rhaeticus , were converted to cellulose nanofibers  via  ammonium persulfate (APS) oxidation. Fiber dimensions were investigated in an atomic force microscope, and the crystallite size was calculated by Rietveld analysis. Saos-2 osteosarcoma cell line served to assess the  in vitro  cytocompatibility of the biocomposite films. Results showed that individual cellulose nanofibers with an average width of 80±15 nm and a length between 600 and 1200 nm are formed by APS oxidation. The obtained BC nanofibers can be promising constituents in nanocellulose films and in chitosan-matrix films with improved physical-mechanical and biological properties. Good cellular biocompatibility was found for chitosan/oxidized cellulose films; the viability of Saos-2 osteosarcoma cells was higher on chitosan/oxidized BC films compared to chitosan/oxidized BKP films.
