Emergent spatiotemporal population dynamics with cell-length control of synthetic microbial consortia

Abstract: The increased complexity of synthetic microbial biocircuits highlights the need for distributed cell functionality due to concomitant increases in metabolic and regulatory burdens imposed on single-strain topologies. Distributed systems, however, introduce additional challenges since consortium composition and spatiotemporal dynamics of constituent strains must be robustly controlled to achieve desired circuit behaviors. Here, we address these challenges with a modeling-based investigation of emergent spatiote… Show more

“…Finally, cells can February 18, 2022 9/23 switch between the different states, and the rates of these transitions are functions of the environmental conditions [29,36,37]. Therefore it becomes possible to vary the distribution of cells between various states as a function of the environment and time [11,34]. Furthermore, while co-cultured, interactions between inter and intra-specific metabolic states may change the microorganism interactions and its population equilibrium and stability.…”

“…However, S.cerevisiae could benefit from a more heterogeneous metabolism during substrate limitation or transitory metabolite shifts. Metabolic heterogeneity is relevant for promoting the interactions needed for establishing microbial communities [33,34]. Thattai and van Oudenaarden [11] established that cell-to-cell differences in gene expression and protein translation (enzymes concentration and activity) could split the population into two or more groups, each one presenting different phenotypic behaviour.…”
