Elucidating, understanding, and leveraging 'covert' metabolic interactions in synthetic mi — NSF Award to Arizona State University
Microbial communities are crucial for the survival of many organisms, including numerous plants and humans, and they are crucial for the health of ecosystems all over the planet. Efforts to engineer microbial communities for specific health, agriculture and industrial functions have often failed, leading to the novel,

| Abstract | Microbial communities are crucial for the survival of many organisms, including numerous plants and humans, and they are crucial for the health of ecosystems all over the planet. Efforts to engineer microbial communities for specific health, agriculture and industrial functions have often failed, leading to the novel, broadly applicable strategy analyzed in this project. This project will reveal valuable and previously unknown microbial interactions, and this knowledge may be leveraged for “buil |
