Brookhaven Scientists Devised Way to Encapsulate Bacteria in a Synthetic Polymer Hydrogel

Bacteria play a role in myriad industrial processes from fermentation to cleaning up environmental pollution. But floating freely in solution, the microbial cells constantly multiply, generating biomass that must be removed periodically, causing downtime. Additionally, the microorganisms cannot be localized to a specific region of interest.
