Engineered synthetic microbial communities comprise (multiple) defined species that are functionally interlinked using rationally engineered metabolic, genetic and physical interactions. The resulting systems provide catalytic activities of industrial value or in situ delivery of bioactive molecules.
Design principles in bacterial biofilm formation for synbio applications using interdisciplinary approaches including modelling and quantitative time-lapse imaging.
