this commercial company creative-biostructure may help you, they have several expression systems for different requirements.

I need to go back to school

I will see how far i can get with what's been presented too me.

I'm thinking my final project will have a "hive" center where there is a system dedicated for component synthesis. I want to make a colony of replicating organisms that can self-sustain.

Diatoms produce silica.

can i make mechanical arms with this stuff?

So I had this little exchange with someone else from another forum. I think my issue has been resolved. I will be trying to get chitin or collagen

Lol. Sorry. I am trying to make a process that doesn't require me to use anything that requires pre-existing strong materials.

Maybe what I'm asking for is too much. I was hoping there would be a nifty little compound out there that when combined with another common resource and (let's say heated) treated it would become much stronger.

A mushroom brick sounds interesting. I need to be able to fashion the material down to 1x1inch area.

I may be able to use different techniques for different areas. But I just want to start with something.

Next I will need a good circuit material/compound that can also be pulled from the earth by nature. I imagine this one will be much harder to find. But I have a crispr kit arriving soon and I intend to splice eel dna.

-==================================

I imagine it may require a lot of the original organic matter to produce a relatively VERY small amount of the compound I need.

I'm looking for a compound extraction process that requires minimal non, organic origins. :/

It would be awesome if I could extract and synthesize with sunlight heat.
Clear lenses can be made already.

Hey. I'm looking for an inexpensive process to synthesize a sturdy material from bacteria, plants or fungi.

What species do I need? How do I extract the compound from the rest of the organic matter? Does the compound need to be heated or treated in any way?

Thanks
