The University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and the Dutch company Hoekmine BV conducted a joint study on bacterial color and optimization, the technology is likely to be used in the development of coatings.
, for example, the researchers looked at the genus jaundice and found that the species usually binds tightly together in clusters and produces bright colors.
this color is not a pigment color, but a color produced by the structure of bacteria that reflects light from different bands.
scientific researchers are studying the genetic characteristics associated with it. "Genetic mapping of structural colors is critical to further understanding the natural construction of nanostructures, and this is the first systematic study of the genetic infrastructure of bacteria and any living organism," said Villads Egede Johansen of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, one of the researchers who
the study.
" researchers say they were able to convert these genes into a variety of colors and shades of light and dark.
this research result is a very important step for the development of biodegradable, non-toxic coatings. "From the perspective of application, this characteristic of the bacterial population allows us to achieve an adjustable quantum structure of living light that can replicate in large quantities, thus avoiding traditional nanotechnology," said Silvia Vignolini, another researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, who
the study.
it's worth noting that these groups of bacteria are used as photoquantum pigments and optimized to change color when stimulated by the outside world and in contact with other living tissues, thus adapting to a variety of environments.
this technology will have great potential for future applications in biodegradable coatings such as automobiles and building walls, allowing for simple and quick changes in color and appearance according to our preferences.
