The use of biofilms as nanostructure‐engineering materials is discussed and exemplified using ZnO nanorods. Three examples are presented for illustration, the immobilization of ZnO‐nanorod arrays on the inner wall of a polystyrene centrifuge tube using S. thermophilus , the morphological organization of ZnO “filters” using S. thermophilus . And the design and implementation of a ZnO‐decorated Ag framework using E. coli .
