Microbial associations for bioremediation. What does “microbial consortia” mean?

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2022
Microbial associations arise as useful tools in several biotechnological processes. Among them, bioremediation of contaminated environments usually takes advantage of these microbial associations. Despite being frequently used, these associations are indicated using a variety of expressions, showing a lack of consensus by specialists in the field.

Microbial Consortia for Hydrogen Production Enhancement

Current Microbiology, 2013
Ten efficient hydrogen-producing strains affiliated to the Clostridium genus were used to develop consortia for hydrogen production. In order to determine their saccharolytic and proteolytic activities, glucose and meat extract were tested as fermentation substrates, and the best hydrogen-producing strains were selected. The C.

Towards synthetic microbial consortia for bioprocessing

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2012
The use of microbial consortia for bioprocessing has been limited by our ability to reliably control community composition and function simultaneously. Recent advances in synthetic biology have enabled population-level coordination and control of ecosystem stability and dynamics.

Hydrocarbon Remediation by Patagonian Microbial Consortia

2016
Among the technologies for recovering hydrocarbon-polluted sites, bioremediation is particularly interesting for wastewater and residue treatment. In this chapter, we first introduce hydrocarbon bioremediation focusing on the hydrocarbon biodegradation capabilities of microorganisms of the marine environment. Then, the context of petroleum hydrocarbons

Microbial transformation of styrene by anaerobic consortia

Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1990
Methanogenic microbial consortia, originally enriched from anaerobic sewage sludge with ferulic acid or styrene (vinylbenzene) as sole organic carbon and energy sources, were used to study transformation of styrene under strictly anaerobic conditions.

Global epistasis and the emergence of function in microbial consortia

Cell
The many functions of microbial communities emerge from a complex web of interactions between organisms and their environment. This poses a significant obstacle to engineering microbial consortia, hindering our ability to harness the potential of ...

Inventory and monitoring of wine microbial consortia

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2007
The evolution of the wine microbial ecosystem is generally restricted to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Oenococcus oeni, which are the two main agents in the transformation of grape must into wine by acting during alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, respectively.

Microbial consortia involved in the anaerobicdegradation of hydrocarbons

Biodegradation, 2000
In this review, we examine the energetics of well-characterized biodegradation pathways and explore the possibilities for these to support growth of multiple organisms interacting in consortia. The relevant phenotypic and/or phylogenetic characteristics of isolates and consortia mediating hydrocarbon degradation coupled with different terminal electron-

Synthetic Microbial Consortia and their Applications

2013
Synthetic Biology provides a framework to examine key enabling components in the emerging area of synthetic biology. Chapters contributed by leaders in the field address tools and methodologies developed for engineering biological systems at many levels, including molecular, pathway, network, whole cell, and multi-cell levels.
