Researchers achieve long-lasting production of renewable chemicals and fuels using photosynthetic microorganisms. By entrapping cyanobacteria in thin nanocellulose films, they enabled months-long ethylene production generating approximately twice as much ethylene…
✅ Finnish researchers have achieved over 4 months of sustained renewable chemical production using engineered cyanobacteria immobilized in nanocellulose films.
✅ This new method generated approximately double the amount of ethylene compared to traditional liquid cultures, overcoming issues like light blockage and excessive water use.
✅ The biohybrid approach combines engineered cells with controllable nanocellulose materials, improving light penetration and directing more energy towards product creation.
✅ The nanocellulose matrices are biodegradable, supporting the development of sustainable and potentially recyclable materials for biomanufacturing.
