The provocation was that instead of growing a plant, like cotton, in a field over several months, we could use microbes to grow a similar cellulose material in a lab in a few days.

其发想在于，并不是花费几个月时间在地里栽培作物，比如棉花；而是只用几天时间，在实验室里用微生物培养出类似的纤维材料。

My own journey in biofabrication started with a project called " Biocouture." The provocation was that instead of growing a plant, like cotton, in a field over several months, we could use microbes to grow a similar cellulose material in a lab in a few days.

我自己的生物制造之旅始于一个名为“Biocouture”的项目。挑衅是，我们可以在几天内使用微生物在实验室中种植类似的纤维素材料，而不是在田间种植棉花等植物几个月。
