Abstract: Probiotics Delivery In article number 2400384, Gianluca Maria Farinola and co-workers present an envisaging way to exploit porous biosilica from marine microorganisms for probiotics delivery. This innovative bioorganic approach allows to treat microalgae shells as microcontainers for living probiotics. Then, the use of two natural polymers (Shellac from insects and Chitosan from crustaceans) proves effective to seal these biobased micro-pills, making them resistant to gastric passage till an almost complete “opening” in contact with intestinal tract. Sometimes it's all a pH matter!
