Unravelling the mechanisms of cyanobacterial resilience in photosynthetic living materials
This study reveals that entrapping *Synechocystis* sp. PCC 6803 in calcium-alginate hydrogels induces a coordinated, maintenance-oriented physiological state characterized by proteome remodeling toward stress protection and resource reallocation, which preserves photosynthetic activity and enables long-term resilience in photosynthetic living materials.
