Consistent Metagenome-Derived Metrics Verify and Delineate Bacterial Species Boundaries
mSystems, 2020 Longstanding questions relate to the existence of naturally distinct bacterial species and genetic approaches to distinguish them. Bacterial genomes in public databases form distinct groups, but these databases are subject to isolation and deposition ...

Genetically Programmable Microbial Assembly
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2021 Engineered microbial communities show promise in a wide range of applications, including environmental remediation, microbiome engineering, and synthesis of fine chemicals. Here we present methods by which bacterial aggregates can be directed into several distinct architectures by inducible surface expression of heteroassociative protein domains ...
