Ecological Firewalls for Synthetic Biology
iScience, 2022 While rapidly becoming a main thread in the development of new therapies, the rise of synthetic biology is also tied to concerns about the potential impact on ecosystems. That is particularly relevant in the of deployment in natural habitats, including the human microbiome. These concerns have boosted the analysis of diverse strategies of containment,

Synthetic soils for ecological and synthetic biology applications. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiol RevAbstract Soils are heterogeneous and dynamic systems characterized by complex physical, chemical, and biological interactions. Understanding these interactions is critical, as they influence plant productivity, global biogeochemical cycles, and ecosystem resilience.

Engineering ecosystems and synthetic ecologies [PDF]
Molecular BioSystems, 2012 Abstract Microbial ecosystems play an important role in nature. Engineering these systems for industrial, medical, or biotechnological purposes are important pursuits for synthetic biologists and biological engineers moving forward. Here we provide a review of recent progress in engineering natural and synthetic microbial ecosystems ...

Ecological drivers of bacterial community assembly in synthetic phycospheres [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 In the nutrient-rich region surrounding marine phytoplankton cells, heterotrophic bacterioplankton transform a major fraction of recently fixed carbon through the uptake and catabolism of phytoplankton metabolites. We sought to understand the rules by which marine bacterial communities assemble in these nutrient-enhanced phycospheres, specifically ...

An Extended Empirical Saddlepoint Approximation for Intractable Likelihoods [PDF]
, 2017 The challenges posed by complex stochastic models used in computational ecology, biology and genetics have stimulated the development of approximate approaches to statistical inference. Here we focus on Synthetic Likelihood (SL), a procedure that reduces

Harbouring public good mutants within a pathogen population can increase both fitness and virulence
eLife, 2016 Existing theory, empirical, clinical and field research all predict that reducing the virulence of individuals within a pathogen population will reduce the overall virulence, rendering disease less severe.
