    China News Service, Beijing, November 24 (Reporter Sun Zifa) Springer Nature’s academic journal "Nature-Communications" recently published a proof-of-concept biotechnology research paper saying that researchers have developed a microbial ink that can Used to print 3D materials with functional and programmable properties


    The paper introduces that the direct use of microorganisms to prepare printing inks without adding other polymers or additives opens up new possibilities for material manufacturing when traditional materials are unavailable


    The paper's co-corresponding author, Northeastern University Neel Joshi (Neel Joshi), colleagues, and colleagues collaborated to create an advanced microbial ink made from Escherichia coli, which is genetically engineered to produce nanofibers


    They then combined this ink with other microorganisms that have been genetically engineered to perform specific tasks and found that the hydrogel can gain functionality


    This latest research result demonstrates the potential of this technology to print functional materials for biotechnology and biomedical applications
