Abstract
Self-propelled biocatalytic motors based on plant tissues are described. The tissue motors rely on their rich catalase activity towards biocatalytic decomposition of the H_2O_2 fuel and generation of the bubble thrust. These biomotors obviate the need for pure enzymes, and offer a remarkably low cost, good lifetime and thermostability.
