or waste, into valuable organics? What if new bioinspired materials could be produced through METs? What if METs could be used as smart bio-based sensors? We provide our vision for the future of METs in four sectors: water treatment, industrial biotechnology, electronics, and biosensors. We showcase why and how METs could advance or replace state-of-the-art technologies and discuss the challenges that must be overcome to make METs part of an electrified future powered by microbes.
