Cyanobacteria inhabit nearly every ecosystem on earth, play a vital role in nutrient cycling,
and are useful as model organisms for fundamental research in photosynthesis and carbon …

Active thylakoids were encapsulated into a three-dimensional silica network to design a
photosynthetic bioreactor suitable for harvesting light and splitting water to oxygen. Since …

Engineered living materials (ELMs) are a novel class of functional materials that typically
feature spatial confinement of living components within an inert polymer matrix to recreate …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been rising since the industrial revolution, with the
most dramatic increase occurring since the end of World War II. Carbon dioxide is widely …

An advanced hybrid biosensing platform with improved optical quality is developed based
on the acidic encapsulation of microalgi in silica matrices synthesized by TAFR …

Photosynthetic microalgae are an attractive source of food, fuel, or nutraceuticals, but
commercial production of microalgae is limited by low spatial efficiency. In the present study …

Alginate-gelatin bicomposite hydrogels have gained prominence in biomedicine and tissue
engineering for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and customizable properties. Since …

High‐density biomass production is currently only realized in biofilm‐based
photobioreactors. Harvest yields of whole biofilms are self‐limited by daughter‐upon‐parent …

The production of green hydrogen is a promising alternative to fossil fuels. The current study
focuses on the design of microalgae as a catalyst in bioelectrochemical systems for the …

Diatoms have the peculiarity to synthesize amorphous silica around the cell wall. Frustules
(empty silica shells) have the advantages of being biocompatible, biodegradable, nontoxic …
