🦠 Biofilms are incredibly robust. This makes them a great system to biomanufacture materials. It also makes them versatile structures for creating functional materials. For @SynBioBeta, I wrote about biofilms in biomanufacturing and advanced materials. synbiobeta.com/read/harnessi…

Excited to have my work published in @growbyginkgo, the magazine that inspired me to dive into science writing career. Read to learn how organizations like @TheBioMADE and @CapraBio have been revitalizing the efforts to develop new types of bioreactors:
The bioreactor was designed for the chemistry industry. What if we redesigned it with biology in mind? Read it here: growbyginkgo.com/2023/07/11/… 🧫Written by @TarasavaKatia with illustrations by Tanya Komlyk✨
