Three synthetic biology applications and their paths to impact in Australia: Cane toads, bacteriophages, and biomining microbes

Abstract: Synthetic biology [synbio] applications have the potential to assist in addressing significant global health and environmental challenges. Australian research institutes are investing in formative research to develop synbio technologies capable of meeting these challenges. Alongside the laboratory research, investigating the broader social, institutional, and ethical considerations that synbio presents has been a priority. We conducted targeted qualitative research to uncover the barriers and opportunities fo… Show more

“…Biomining includes processes like biosorption (i.e., the adsorption of dissolved metals to the surface of cells) and bioprecipitation (i.e., altering the redox state of dissolved metals to decrease their solubility in water), which have been extensively reported in the literature as alternatives (Figure 1A ). While some researchers have focused on leveraging microbes’ natural capabilities for biomining, others have explored the expansion the microbes’ capabilities through the latest advances in synthetic biology [ 2 , 3 , 4 ].…”
