Elementary mode analysis is a useful metabolic pathway analysis tool to identify the
structure of a metabolic network that links the cellular phenotype to the corresponding …

Medically relevant biofilms have gained a significant level of interest, in part because of the
epidemic rise in obesity and an aging population in the developed world. The associated …

Escherichia coli is the most popular microorganism for the production of recombinant
proteins and is gaining increasing importance for the production of low‐molecular weight …

Fermentation Microbiology and Biotechnology, 4th Edition explores and illustrates the broad
array of metabolic pathways employed for the production of primary and secondary …

Plants display enormous diversity in their metabolism. Although the biosynthesis and
function of the myriad plant metabolites have been studied for decades, we have little …

Biomining with acidophilic microorganisms has been used at commercial scale for the
extraction of metals from various sulfide ores. With metal demand and energy prices on the …

This mini-review discusses the current state of experimental and computational microbial
consortia engineering with a focus on cellular factories. A discussion of promising ecological …

Diatoms are one of the most successful groups of unicellular eukaryotic algae. Successive
endosymbiotic events contributed to their flexible metabolism, making them competitive in …

Understanding the emergence and evolution of multicellularity and cellular differentiation is
a core problem in biology. We develop a quantitative model that shows that a multicellular …

Shewanellae are gram-negative facultatively anaerobic metal-reducing bacteria commonly
found in chemically (ie, redox) stratified environments. Occupying such niches requires the …
