AbstractOver the past two decades, considerable interest has focused on developing engineered living materials (ELMs). This emerging class of materials leverages embedded living cells to achieve functionalities such as self-assembly, self-repair, sensing, manufacturing, and energy generation. ELMs offer potential solutions to issues sometimes associated with conventional materials through (1) manufacture using low-resource/low-waste methods, (2) engineered multifunctionality, and (3) onsite production f
