Abstract: Examples of a moisture induced bioluminescent composition are disclosed. The moisture induced bioluminescent composition includes luciferin granulates and a mixture of a dried luciferase enzyme and one or both of at least one cofactor and at least one excipient. The luciferin granulates are mixed with the dried luciferase mixture forming an unreactive composition that is configured to produce a luminescence when exposed to moisture.

Abstract: Examples of a mat are disclosed. The mat comprises a body with a first surface and a second surface, and a microbial component that comprises pre-determined microorganisms which are dispersed in the body of the mat between the first and second surfaces, on one of the first surface or the second surface, or on both of the first surface and the second surface. The microbial component manipulates a microbiome of an environment adjacent or in contact to the mat. The microbial component can comprise at least one of live bacteria, bacteria endospores, fungi, viruses, protozoa, algae, slime moulds, archaea, micro-plants, a synthetic biology system or microbial precursor that stimulate growth of the desired microorganisms.

Abstract: Biofilm-enhanced textiles and methods of preparing same are disclosed. The biofilm-enhanced textiles include a textile; and a biofilm comprising one or more microorganisms and an extracellular material, the one or more microorganisms being engineered to express one or more proteins on a cell surface to adhere to the textile, and to express one or more genes that produce a response to changes within the textile or to an environment surrounding the textile.
