Synthetic ecology: A model system for cooperation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Synthetic biology offers the promise of a better understanding of biological systems through constructing them. Unlike naturally occurring biological systems, which are generally complicated by multiple variables and difficult to isolate components, synthetic systems can be simplified to allow for experiments that would be too difficult to interpret if

Bottom-Up Approaches to Synthetic Cooperation in Microbial Communities
Life, 2019 Microbial cooperation pervades ecological scales, from single-species populations to host-associated microbiomes. Understanding the mechanisms promoting the stability of cooperation against potential threats by cheaters is a major question that only ...

Homeorhesis and ecological succession quantified in synthetic microbial ecosystems [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 The dynamics of ecological change following a major perturbation, known as succession, are influenced by random processes. Direct quantitation of the degree of contingency in succession requires chronological study of replicate ecosystems. We previously found that population dynamics in carefully controlled, replicated synthetic microbial ecosystems ...
