MIT chemical engineers devised a metal-organic coating that protects bacterial cells from damage without impeding their growth or function. These coated bacteria could make it much easier for farmers to deploy microbes as fertilizers. At left, the inset shows the components that create the protective shell of the microbes, as represented in the center inset by triangular formations.
