Resumen:
Normal cell division and growth inside a
mineral host has been achieved for the first time, overcoming
the limits imposed by cell survival. The diffusion time
of nutrients within the porous silica monolith is fast enough
to allow growing rates almost indistinguishable from a
traditional culture (control). The inorganic matrix provides
an effective mechanical barrier for the isolation of contiguous
growing cultures.
