Bacteria were electrospun into nanofiber and kept alive and functional for a week, according to M. Gensheimer et al. (Adv. Mater. 2007. DOI: 10.1002/adma.200602936).

Bacteria is believed to cause the smelly odor from the sweaty shirt. However, because they can be rendered any function you like by genetic engineering, so what would you like the bacteria on your shirts, towels, or underwear do?

If I were the authors I would write the last sentences like this:

Nonwoven mets accumulated from electrospun nanofiber have tremendous surface areas which means they contact with the surrounding environment more extensively. Incorporating some genetic-engineered VX-emitting bacteria into these mets might possibly give an efficient weapon of mass destruction, which will be the topic of future papers.
