Harnessing Synthetic Ecology for commercial algae production [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractSynthetic Ecology is a novel concept describing the design of de novo ecological communities for a designated purpose. This study is a proof of concept for harnessing Synthetic Ecology in expanding the scale of commercially relevant micro algae (Chlorella vulgaris) cultivation using stable Synthetic Ecologies in open environments as opposed to ...

Synthetic soil crusts against green-desert transitions: a spatial model [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
Semiarid ecosystems are threatened by global warming due to longer dehydration times and increasing soil degradation. Mounting evidence indicates that, given the current trends, drylands are likely to expand and possibly experience catastrophic shifts ...

Bridging the Holistic-Reductionist Divide in Microbial Ecology

mSystems, 2019
Microbial communities are inherently complex systems. To address this complexity, microbial ecologists are developing new, more elaborate laboratory models at an ever-increasing pace.

Environment Constrains Fitness Advantages of Division of Labor in Microbial Consortia Engineered for Metabolite Push or Pull Interactions

mSystems, 2022
Fitness benefits from division of labor are well documented in microbial consortia, but the dependency of the benefits on environmental context is poorly understood.

Enforced Mutualism Leads to Improved Cooperative Behavior between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum

Microorganisms, 2020
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum are responsible for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, respectively. Successful completion of both fermentations is essential for many styles of wine, and an understanding of how these species ...
