• Scientists Designed Nanocontainers for Bacterial Metabolism Control

  …ked: did the containers open when we irradiated them with the laser. This way, we can learn to “talk” with bacteria, control their metabolism and make them develop in a different direction. And all this with the help of light,” comments Anna Nikitina, the first author of the article, member of ITMO University’ SCAMT Laboratory. According to the scientists, the d…
