Ecological perspectives on synthetic biology: insights from microbial population biology
The metabolic capabilities of microbes are the basis for many major biotechnological advances, exploiting microbial diversity by selection or engineering of single strains. However, there are limits to the advances that can be achieved with single strains, and attention has turned toward the metabolic potential of consortia and the field of synthetic ecology. The main challenge for the syntheti...
متن کاملConstructing Microbial Consortia with Optimal Biomass Production Using a Genetic Algorithm
Typical natural microbial ecosystems contain many different member organisms that all interact with each other in a highly nonlinear way. Although historically most work in microbiology has focused on pure cultures of single organisms, the study of groups of organisms (consortia) still forms a major challenge. While genetic algorithms are capable of optimising nonlinear systems and they should ...

متن کاملQuorum Sensing Communication Modules for Microbial Consortia.
The power of a single engineered organism is limited by its capacity for genetic modification. To circumvent the constraints of any singular microbe, a new frontier in synthetic biology is emerging: synthetic ecology, or the engineering of microbial consortia. Here we develop communication systems for such consortia in an effort to allow for complex social behavior across different members of a...
متن کاملMetagenomics insights into food fermentations
This review describes the recent advances in the study of food microbial ecology, with a focus on food fermentations. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies have been widely applied to the study of food microbial consortia and the different applications of HTS technologies were exploited in order to monitor microbial dynamics in food fermentative processes. Phylobiomics was the most expl...
