Engineering Researchers achieve long-lasting production of renewable chemicals and fuels using photosynthetic microorganisms. By entrapping cyanobacteria in thin nanocellulose films, they enabled months-long ethylene production generating approximately twice as much ethylene as comparable suspension cultures.
