Engineered living materials with bacterial spores show promise for self-healing and sustainability
Bacterial spores—the hardy survival structures formed by certain bacterial species—are proving to be a game changer in the field of engineered living materials (ELMs). By embedding Bacillus spores ...
Bacteria go to extremes to handle hard times: They hunker down, building a fortress-like shell around their DNA and turning off all signs of life. And yet, when times improve, these dormant spores can ...
Scientists at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) are taking the unique approach of using the natural stimuli responses in bacterial spores to create high-accuracy humidity sensors. Spores have a ...
