Abstract
Inspired by biological functions of living systems, researchers have engineered cells as independent functional materials or integrated them within a natural or synthetic matrix to create engineered living materials (ELMs). However, the 'livingness' of cells in such materials poses serious drawbacks, such as a short lifespan and the need for cold-chain logistics. Bacterial spores have emerged as a game changer to bypass these shortcomings as a result of their intrinsic dormancy and resistance against harsh conditions. Emerging synthetic biology tools tailored for engineering spores and better understanding of their physical properties have led to novel applications of spore-based materials. Here, we review recent advances in such materials and discuss future challenges for the development of time- and cost-efficient spore-based materials with high performance.
