Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have developed a new method for 3-D printing living microbes in controlled patterns, expanding the potential for using engineered bacteria to recover rare-earth metals, clean wastewater, detect uranium and more.
Through a novel technique that uses light and bacteria-infused resin to produce 3-D-patterned microbes, the research team successfully printed artificial biofilms resembling the thin layers of microbial communities prevalent in the…
