Population-based microbial computing: a third wave of synthetic biology? [PDF]
International Journal of General Systems, 2014 Synthetic biology is an emerging research field, in which engineering principles are applied to natural, living systems. A major goal of synthetic biology is to harness the inherent “biological nanotechnology” of living cells for the purposes of computation, production or diagnosis.

Biological evolution: Lessons to be learned from microbial population biology and genetics
Research in Microbiology, 2004 This issue is dedicated to the memory of Michel Blot, who died in a tragic accident in the French Alps in September 2002, bringing his fruitful scientific activities to a sudden end. After having completed his basic and doctoral education in population biology of eukaryotic organisms, Michel Blot joined my laboratory in 1989 with the intention of ...

RAREFAN: A webservice to identify REPINs and RAYTs in bacterial genomes
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Compared to eukaryotes, repetitive sequences are rare in bacterial genomes and usually do not persist for long. Yet, there is at least one class of persistent prokaryotic mobile genetic elements: REPINs.

Advances in Methods of Microbial Molecular Ecology
Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2022 Microbial molecular ecology is an interdisciplinary of molecular biology and microbial ecology. It is important to understand the composition and structure, function, the relationship between microorganisms and the relationship between microorganisms and

Evolution of genome fragility enables microbial division of labor
Molecular Systems Biology, 2023 Division of labor can evolve when social groups benefit from the functional specialization of its members. Recently, a novel means of coordinating the division of labor was found in the antibiotic‐producing bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor, where ...

Effect of irrigation with municipal water or sewage effluent on the biology of soil cores [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1978 Abstract Microbial populations and respiratory activity are reported for topsoils (0–10 cm) of 15 cm diameter cores (depth 50 cm) of 10 pasture soils representative of soils of North Island, New Zealand, after 15 months' irrigation with either municipal tapwater or unchlorinated sewage effluent from a biological filtration plant.

Engineered microbial consortia: strategies and applications
Microbial Cell Factories, 2021 Many applications of microbial synthetic biology, such as metabolic engineering and biocomputing, are increasing in design complexity. Implementing complex tasks in single populations can be a challenge because large genetic circuits can be burdensome ...
