Synthetic ecology of the human gut microbiota

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2019
Despite recent advances in sequencing and culturing, a deep knowledge of the wiring and functioning of the human gut ecosystem and its microbiota as a community is still missing. A holistic mechanistic understanding will require study of the gut microbiota as an interactive and spatially organized biological system, which is difficult to do in complex ...

Ecology of a Simple Synthetic Biofilm

2014
The ecology in a biofilm—i.e., how the cells relate to each other and their environment—can offer competitive advantages over an autonomous, free-swimming, planktonic environment such as nutrient acquisition via cross-feeding of populations and increased resistance to biocides.

Shaping ecological risk research for synthetic biology

Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, 2014
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that brings together biology and engineering at its core. Understanding and evaluating the ecological effects of synthetic biology applications also require broad interdisciplinary convergence and the ability to adapt to rapid technological developments.

Theoretical Foundations of an Ecological Synthetic Vision Display

AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference, 2009
This paper presents the conceptual design of an ecological Synthetic Vision Display. It is hypothesized to promote pilot terrain awareness and support decision-making by means of functional overlays that show pilots how their maneuvering possibilities are constrained by their own aircraft performance and surrounding terrain.

Experimental Evaluation of an Ecological Synthetic Vision Display

AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference, 2009
Recent studies in interface-mediated situation awareness claim that an ecological approach to interface design can be a good foundation to support successful decision-making, even in unanticipated situations. It is also claimed to serve well as a teaching tool that can promote a deeper understanding of the work domain dynamics.

Investigating Microbial Community Ecology Using Synthetic Bacterial Communities

2023
The functions of microbial communities are crucial to sustaining life on Earth and have a pervasive impact on human society. Thus, there is great interest in developing a nuanced understanding of the processes that control microbial communities, with the hope that we can apply such knowledge to manipulate and potentially engineer microbial communities ...

The ecology and toxicology of synthetic organic pigments

Chemosphere, 1980
Abstract Current knowledge of the ecological and toxicological properties of synthetic organic pigments is reviewed. Presumably because of their generally low solubility pigments exhibit little biological activity, especially in terms of acute toxicity.
