Abstract

ABSTRACT Constructing living materials with microbial consortia represents an emerging approach for creating life‐like functional systems; however, the spatiotemporal orchestration of the activities across diverse species remains a major challenge. Yu et al. address this with a 3D‐printable hydrogel matrix that embeds phase‐separated aqueous microdroplets for microbial compartmentalization, enabling sustained biocatalysis under continuous flow ( https://doi.org/10.1002/anov.70015 ).
