PROMICON’s fifth Graphical Summary: Give rise to bacterial biopolymers for a range of potential applications in our daily lives

PROMICON’s initiative to share graphical summaries for our research papers aims to make complex scientific studies more accessible and engaging for interested stakeholders such as policymakers, the scientific community, and the general public. These summaries will be available on our website library and social media platforms, providing readers with a quick and informative overview of our research highlights.

A recent study, ’’When microbial biotechnology meets material engineering’’ highlights the potential of bacterial biopolymers like cellulose, alginate, and PHAs for applications in biomedicine and sustainable packaging. By combining microbial biotechnology and material engineering, researchers can enhance the properties of these biopolymers, making them suitable for advanced uses, such as engineered living materials (ELMs), which can sense, respond, and self-repair. The research emphasises the wide-ranging applications and structural diversity of bacterial biopolymers.
