Recent advances in synthetic biology and materials science have given rise to a new form of materials, namely engineered living (ELMs), which are composed matter or cell communities embedded self-regenerating matrices their own artificial scaffolds. Like natural such as bone, wood, skin, ELMs, possess the functional capabilities organisms, can grow, self-organize, self-repair when needed. They also spontaneously perform programmed biological functions upon sensing external cues. Currently, ELMs show promise for green energy production, bioremediation, disease treatment, fabricating advanced smart materials. This review first introduces dynamic features systems potential developing novel We then summarize recent research progress on emerging design strategies from both perspectives. Finally, we discuss positive impacts promoting sustainability key future directions.

The biotic–abiotic photosynthetic system integrating inorganic light absorbers with whole-cell biocatalysts innovates the way for sustainable solar-driven chemical transformation. Fundamentally, electron transfer at interface, which may induce biological response to photoexcited stimuli, plays an essential role in solar energy conversion. Herein, we selected electro-active bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 as a model, constitutes hybrid self-assembled CdS semiconductor, demonstrate unique interfacial behavior. electrons from nanoparticles can reverse extracellular (EET) chain within S. MR-1, realizing activation of bacterial catalytic network illumination. As compared bare significant upregulation hydrogen yield (711-fold), ATP, and reducing equivalent (NADH/NAD+) was achieved MR-1-CdS under visible light. This work sheds on fundamental mechanism provides design guidelines systems.

Nanomaterial-microorganism hybrid systems (NMHSs), integrating semiconductor nanomaterials with microorganisms, present a promising platform for broadband solar energy harvesting, high-efficiency carbon reduction, and sustainable chemical production. While studies underscore its potential in diverse solar-to-chemical conversions, prevailing NMHSs grapple suboptimal conversion efficiency. Such limitations stem predominantly from an insufficient systematic exploration of the mechanisms dictating flow. This review provides overview notable advancements this nascent field, particular focus on discussion three pivotal steps flow: capture, cross-membrane transport, into chemicals. key challenges faced each stage are independently identified discussed, viable solutions correspondingly postulated. In view interplay affecting overall efficiency conversion, subsequent discussions thus take integrative viewpoint to comprehend, analyze improve flow current different configurations, highlighting contemporary techniques that can be employed investigate various aspects within NMHSs. Finally, concluding section summarizes opportunities future research, providing roadmap continued development optimization
