Productive catalytic living materials: combining 3D biobased fibrillar membranes with synthetic microbial consortia to produce chemicals

In nature, materials with unique renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable potential are produced and evolved to provide the most effective designs and systems. Such naturally evolved systems inspire and set the basis for the LivMat project to design catalytic living materials (cat-LMs) and overcome fundamental efficiency, robustness, and scalability issues associated with current state-of-art technologies.
