The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is
important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate …

Synthetic biology is an emerging research field that focuses on using rational engineering
strategies to program biological systems, conferring on them new functions and behaviours …

The phytoplankton community in the oligotrophic open ocean is numerically dominated by
the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus, accounting for approximately half of all …

In recent works, microbial consortia consisting of various bacteria and fungi exhibited a
biodegradation performance superior to single microbial strains. A highly efficient …

The development of industrial biotechnology for an economical and ecological conversion of
renewable materials into chemicals and fuels requires new strategies and concepts for …

The exploration of microbial communities to efficiently produce biofuels has become a
critical approach among biochemical processes. Co-cultures have been intensively studied …

Sequential uptake of pentose and hexose sugars that compose lignocellulosic biomass
limits the ability of pure microbial cultures to efficiently produce value‐added bioproducts. In …

The rapid development of synthetic biology has conferred almost perfect modification on
single cells, and provided methodological support for synthesizing microbial consortia …

Microbial mutualistic interaction or synthetic microbiology evolves closely from the concept
of cell-cell relations in a complex microbial community, which plays a crucial role in waste …

Oceanographic studies have shown that heterotrophic bacteria can protect marine
cyanobacteria against oxidative stress caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Could a …
