Genome-driven evolutionary game theory helps understand the rise of metabolic interdependencies in microbial communities [PDF]
, 2017 Metabolite exchanges in microbial communities give rise to ecological interactions that govern ecosystem diversity and stability. It is unclear, however, how the rise of these interactions varies across metabolites and organisms.

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

Use of synthetic communities to study microbial ecology of the gut
Microbiome Research Reports, 2022 The application of in vitro synthetic microbial communities is an excellent approach to model the ecological interactions between microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract. Although DNA-based studies have provided a wealth of information, they do not consider the ecological properties of the human gut microbiota.

Microbial Cell Factories, 2018 Background Due to the important role of rifamycin in curing tuberculosis infection, the study on rifamycin has never been stopped. Although RifZ, which locates within the rifamycin biosynthetic cluster, has recently been characterized as a pathway ...

Historical contingency in species interactions: towards niche-based predictions. [PDF]
, 2013 The way species affect one another in ecological communities often depends on the order of species arrival. The magnitude of such historical contingency, known as priority effects, varies across species and environments, but this variation has proven ...

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 ...

Evaluation of textile substrates for dispensing synthetic attractants for malaria mosquitoes [PDF]
, 2014 Background: The full-scale impact of odour-baited technology on the surveillance, sampling and control of vectors of infectious diseases is partly limited by the lack of methods for the efficient and sustainable dispensing of attractants.
