Bacterial metallic
nanowires or nanoparticles synthesized from bacterial metabolism are garnering
considerable attention because of their high potential for use in various
future applications. Recent research generated a wealth of new scientific and
technological results that clearly demonstrated bacterial capabilities of
producing conductive nanomaterials. We explore this bacterial biosynthetic
ability for use in bottom-up manufacturing techniques. Several methods are
investigated for fabricating flexible electronic circuits on paper or textile
device substrates. The circuits are formed from metallic nanomaterials that are
biosynthesized during the bacterial metabolism.
