Quorum sensing (QS), a microbial cell-to-cell communication process, dynamically regulates
a variety of metabolism and physiological activities. In this review, we provide an update on …

Predictive biology is the next great chapter in synthetic and systems biology, particularly for
microorganisms. Tasks that once seemed infeasible are increasingly being realized such as …

Bacteria exist as communities in diverse multispecies environments. Quorum sensing, a
process for cell–cell communication, allows individual bacteria to glean information about …

Microbial communities inhabit spatial architectures that divide a global environment into
isolated or semi-isolated local environments, which leads to the partitioning of a microbial …

From biosynthesis to bioremediation, microbes have been engineered to address a variety
of biotechnological applications. A promising direction in these endeavors is harnessing the …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a molecular signaling modality that mediates molecular-based cell–
cell communication. Prevalent in nature, QS networks provide bacteria with a method to …

Increasingly intimate associations between human society and the natural environment are
driving the emergence of novel pathogens, with devastating consequences for humans and …

The ability to effectively represent microbiome dynamics is a crucial challenge in their
quantitative analysis and engineering. By using autoencoder neural networks, we show that …

Mutualisms are ubiquitous in nature, provide important ecosystem services, and involve
many species of interest for conservation. Theoretical progress on the population dynamics …

Many applications of microbial synthetic biology, such as metabolic engineering and
biocomputing, are increasing in design complexity. Implementing complex tasks in single …
