Viability of cells after exposure to crosslinking conditions. A Cells were exposed to different concentrations of mTG in MHB media for 18 h (N = 6 per concentration). The Log10(CFU/mL) value increased from 4.2 at the start of the experiment, to \(> 8.4\) after incubation for all concentrations tested. B The cells encapsulated in gelatin microparticles form visible colonies, thus demonstrating their viability. Furthermore, the diameter of the colonies correlates with the Log10(CFU/mL) value. Scale bar = 100 \(\upmu\)m. The original, high-resolution version of Fig. 2B is provided in the Supplementary Figure S2
