SporeHybrids - Combination of bacterial spores displaying light reactive proteins with upconverting nanoparticles.

Microbial spores, such as those from the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis have the capacity to absorb substances such as ions, proteins and can be coated with polymers. Furthermore, through genetic engineering, the surface of spores can be decorated with heterologous proteins. SporeHybri...
