A Combinatorial Algorithm for Microbial Consortia Synthetic Design [PDF]
AbstractSynthetic biology has boomed since the early 2000s when it started being shown that it was possible to efficiently synthetize compounds of interest in a much more rapid and effective way by using other organisms than those naturally producing them.

Ecosystem Functions of Microbial Consortia in Sustainable Agriculture
Knowledge of the agricultural soil microbiota, of the microbial consortia that comprise it, and the promotion of agricultural practices that maintain and encourage them, is a promising way to improve soil quality for sustainable agriculture and to ...

Artificial Microbial Arenas: Materials for Observing and Manipulating Microbial Consortia [PDF]
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 ...

Potential syntrophic associations in anaerobic naphthenic acids biodegrading consortia inferred with microbial interactome networks [PDF]
Naphthenic acids (NAs) can be syntrophically metabolized by indigenous microbial communities in pristine sediments beneath oil sands tailings ponds. Syntrophy is an essential determinant of the microbial interactome, however, the interactome network in ...

The use of probiotic cultures in the technology of protein fermented milk products [PDF]
The article provides a brief justification for the need to create new fermented milk products with probiotic properties based on microbial consortia consisting of thermophilic lactic acid streptococcus, propionic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
