How can the resulting products grow directly into shape? Which actors could network to create more sustainable alternatives?<br><br>The students addressed these questions by investigating how biological growth processes can be combined with mechanical shaping \u2013 using selected microorganisms and experimental production apparatus.The results are initial prototypes and material studies that show how bio-based production can be reimagined: decentralised, regenerative and in close collaboration with microbes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table alignright is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td>supported by:<br><br><\/td><td>Prof. Mareike Gast<br>Andreas Wagner<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>year:<\/td><td>2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>level:<\/td><td>3rd year BA and Master<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microbial Factories exploring and designing new ways of production What if we could use microbial growth to produce not only food such as bread, sauerkraut or cheese locally, but also everyday objects that have traditionally been made of plastic?
