Biosynthetic additive manufacturing through mycelium-bacteria consortia
Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable raw material on Earth, yet its structural and carbon-storage potential remains unrealized: microbial decomposition returns stored carbon to the atmosphere before it can be harnessed as a durable material. Distinct microbial processes, such as biosynthesis and biomineralization, offer a natural counterpoint, converting organic carbon into…
