We're back!!! First preprint of the year (3 more on the way). Here, we used microalgae to produce a 3D printable resin: Squeeze the oil from the microalgae, a couple of simple reactions (#chemsky), mixy mixy and there you have a strong bioresin. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
from microagae to a 3D printed designstarting from microalgae oil, we performed two reactions, mix the resulting product with more components and the print and mechanical test the objects. 3D printed tests, the classical rook and one hexagon with the name of the group (BNT)

A metagenomic ‘dark matter’ enzyme catalyses oxidative cellulose conversion - Nature
A metalloenzyme capable of oxidatively cleaving cellulose, found in a microbial community specialized in lignocellulose degradation, could enable sustainable biofuel production.
