Towards synthetic microbial consortia for bioprocessing
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2012The 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.

Microbial Consortia for Hydrogen Production Enhancement
Current Microbiology, 2013Ten 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.

Customized spatial niches for synthetic microbial consortia
Trends in Biotechnology, 2023The construction of synthetic microbial consortia has been considered a new frontier. However, maintaining artificial microbial communities remains challenging because the dominant strain eventually outcompetes the others. Inspired by natural ecosystems, one promising approach to assemble stable consortia is to construct spatial niches partitioning ...

Designing Synthetic Microbial Consortia for Biofuel Production
Trends in Biotechnology, 2020Synthetic microbial consortia could efficiently produce biofuels from lignocellulose through labor division between different species. However, the incompatible growth conditions between lignocellulose degraders and biofuel producers might limit the overall conversion efficiency.

Synthetic microbial consortia for small molecule production
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2020Microbial consortia were designed for the production of small molecules with 'labor' being divided between two or more microorganisms. Examples of linear designs are substrate conversion preceding target molecule production or subdivision of two consecutive steps of target molecule production.

Hydrocarbon Remediation by Patagonian Microbial Consortia
2016Among 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

Multicellular PD Control in Microbial Consortia
IEEE Control Systems Letters, 2023AbstractWe propose a multicellular implementation of a biomolecular PD feedback controller to regulate gene expression in a microbial consortium. The implementation involves distributing the proportional and derivative control actions between two different cellular populations that can communicate with each other and regulate the output of a third ...

Microbial transformation of styrene by anaerobic consortia
Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1990Methanogenic 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.

Inventory and monitoring of wine microbial consortia
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2007The 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.
