Bioprinting of Nanocellulose Hydrogels for Photobiocatalysis Under Continuous Flow
and a high enantiomeric purity (>99%). The highly atom-efficient chemical process (88%) using only water to provide electrons for NADPH regeneration could be upscaled and can potentially be operated in extended periods to reduce wastewater associated with cell cultivation. Overall, 3D printing of photosynthetic microorganisms embedded in a hydrogel matrix holds significant promise for advancing the development of whole-cell solid-state photosynthetic cell factories. These are important steps toward improved reactor designs and higher efficiencies to improve crucial redox biotransformations.
