Amazing black cellulose materials by @Marcus_waal!.
In our work on engineered living materials, a question we ask ourselves is ‘How can we use synthetic biology to make materials more sustainable?’ In our new preprint, Marcus Walker @Marcus_waal answers this with ‘Bacterial Black Sheep’. How? Read on… 🧵⬇️.
