What does a smelly kitchen sponge tell us about microbial growth?

The levels and holes and nooks and crannies of a kitchen sponge are a better cumulacrum of soil, of plant roots, of your small intestines, of real life environments where microbes thrive, than a flat dish or an industrial that. So look for this research to have great application in the field of synthetic biology. I just thought this was a fun science story

Structure matters! And synthetic biology is paying attention… https://s.swell.life/SSzkWcaiuh9erHH #SyntheticBiology

Soo cool!

Good morning, Tim. Thank you so much. That was such a cool article. I'm going to read that. And when I when I saw that when I saw the picture and I saw the title of your swell, it instantly made me think about probably aware of a life hack, I guess, if you will, with these sponges. I don't know where I thought I read it on the Internet or something. But when they get gnarly, as you said. Right

Obviously, you said after about a week or so, it does start looking pretty interesting and it starts to kind of smell and add different, I guess you could say micros and organisms to it. One thing that I have been doing has been putting it into the dishwasher to be cleansed just like it was a dish. So that's a really good thing, I think to kill everything off of it. But it sounds like we're looking to keep everything on it and grow
