Very happy to share our new paper published in Advanced Materials @drananymishra with Xiayi and @superstreps from @Brisdental.
We demonstrate the potential applications of protocells in enzyme and whole-cell mediated continuous flow biocatalysis.

The images were captured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and false coloured using Adobe Photoshop. We immobilized L. lactis cells within polymer vesicles, allowing the bacteria to grow and form biofilms inside these vesicles.

Bacterial planet🦠🌕#BiofilmCreate #BiofilmAware
A long time ago, in a microbial universe far, far away.... There existed a drab planet where burning desert sands spread all over its surface, and red lava rivers roared deafeningly (left).

Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) discovered a way to thrive on this unforgiving planet. They migrated from the ground to the planet's interior and established a thriving and vibrant bacterial metropolis (right).
