Abstract

In article number 1805312, Marie-Eve Aubin-Tam, Anne S. Meyer, and co-workers use bacteria to produce nacre-inspired composite materials that exhibit high toughness and stiffness, along with impressive extensibility. The extensive diversity of bacterial metabolic abilities and the possibility of genetic engineering will allow for creating a library of cost-effective, eco-friendly composite materials.
