Wow! Very interesting work. If it pans out the potential is incredible.

And an interesting twist - as IIRC, in some areas bamboo became a problem because it was no longer harvested the make various products, because plastics were cheaper. Turn around is fair play, after all.

🌏 Science at the other end of the world
Benedikt Hiller & David Krieg from Hof University’s ibp presented their research on sustainable plastics at the PPS-40 Conference in Auckland. After 38 hours of travel, they shared insights, discussed innovations – and explored New Zealand’s culture along the way. 🌿

#NASA / #University of #Nebraska 📆 Jan 9, 2023 #Mars #habitat outfitting can be realized by insitu construction using #cyanobacteria 🦠 and #fungi 🍄 as building agents. Synthetic biology toolkits will be employed to create a synthetic #lichen🌱 system, composed of diazotrophic cyanobacteria and filamentous fungi, to produce abundant #biominerals (calcium carbonate) and #biopolymers, which will glue #Martian #regolith into consolidated building #blocks. These #selfgrowing building blocks can later be assembled into various #structures https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/niac/2023/Biomineralization_Enabled_Self_Growing_Building_Blocks/
