Single strain control of microbial consortia [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 AbstractThe scale of the biological systems we can engineer is limited by the burden that host cells can bear. Division-of-labour can spread that burden across a community of cells but competitive exclusion inevitably leads to the removal of less fit community members over time.

Identifying Keystone Species in the Human Gut Microbiome from Metagenomic Timeseries using Sparse Linear Regression [PDF]
, 2014 Human associated microbial communities exert tremendous influence over human health and disease. With modern metagenomic sequencing methods it is possible to follow the relative abundance of microbes in a community over time.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Microbial consortia play a key role in human health, bioenergy, and food manufacturing due to their strong stability, robustness and versatility. One of the microbial consortia consisting of Ketogulonicigenium vulgare and Bacillus megaterium for the ...

Engineering microbial consortia for controllable outputs [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2016 Abstract Much research has been invested into engineering microorganisms to perform desired biotransformations; nonetheless, these efforts frequently fall short of expected results due to the unforeseen effects of biofeedback regulation and functional incompatibility.

Microbial consortia at steady supply
eLife, 2017 Metagenomics has revealed hundreds of species in almost all microbiota. In a few well-studied cases, microbial communities have been observed to coordinate their metabolic fluxes. In principle, microbes can divide tasks to reap the benefits of specialization, as in human economies.

Engineered bidirectional communication mediates a consensus in a microbial biofilm consortium [PDF]
, 2007 Microbial consortia form when multiple species colocalize and communally generate a function that none is capable of alone. Consortia abound in nature, and their cooperative metabolic activities influence everything from biodiversity in the global food ...

Artificial Microbial Arenas: Materials for Observing and Manipulating Microbial Consortia [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2019 AbstractFrom the smallest ecological niche to global scale, communities of microbial life present a major factor in system regulation and stability. As long as laboratory studies remain restricted to single or few species assemblies, however, very little is known about the interaction patterns and exogenous factors controlling the dynamics of natural ...

Quorum Sensing Communication Modules for Microbial Consortia [PDF]
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2016 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.

Scientific Reports, 2023 Three stable microbial consortia, each composed of Bacillus paranthracis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus strains, were isolated from milk of cows diagnosed with mastitis in three geographically remote regions of Russia. The composition of these consortia
