Bacteria is the new black: Scientists create microbes that make self-dyeing textiles
For sustainability-minded fashionistas, materials made by fast-growing, eco-friendly bacteria offer an appealing alternative to leather or faux plastic replacements such as “pleather.” Yet coloring or adding patterns to these bacterial textiles can still mean working with environmentally harmful dyes. A study published last week in
Nature Biotechnology
may offer a solution:
genetically engineering bacteria to produce melanin pigment
so the material can
