Article Synopsis
- * Two bacterial strains are designed to complement each other: one produces anthranilate (ANT), which the other converts to tryptophan (TRP) and then to VIO, showcasing a division of labor.
- * The research highlights the influence of different carbon sources on co-culture stability and VIO production, with D-xylose resulting in the best outcomes, paving the way for scaling up production in bioreactors.
In nature, microorganisms often reside in symbiotic co-existence providing nutrition, stability, and protection for each partner by applying "division of labor." This principle may also be used for the overproduction of targeted compounds in bioprocesses. It requires the engineering of a synthetic co-culture with distributed tasks for each partner.
