Recent advances in synthetic biology and materials science have given rise to a new form of materials, namely engineered living (ELMs), which are composed matter or cell communities embedded self-regenerating matrices their own artificial scaffolds. Like natural such as bone, wood, skin, ELMs, possess the functional capabilities organisms, can grow, self-organize, self-repair when needed. They also spontaneously perform programmed biological functions upon sensing external cues. Currently, ELMs show promise for green energy production, bioremediation, disease treatment, fabricating advanced smart materials. This review first introduces dynamic features systems potential developing novel We then summarize recent research progress on emerging design strategies from both perspectives. Finally, we discuss positive impacts promoting sustainability key future directions.

A promising, sustainable way to enhance plant health and productivity is by leveraging beneficial microbes. Beneficial microbes are natural soil residents with proven benefits for performance health. When applied in agriculture improve crop yield performance, these commonly referred as bioinoculants. Yet, despite their promising properties, bioinoculant efficacy can vary dramatically the field, hampering applicability.

Our previous work developed acoustic response bacteria, which enable the precise tuning of transgene expression through ultrasound. However, it is still difficult to visualize these bacteria in order guide sound wave precisely irradiate them. Here, we develop ultrasound-visible engineered and chemically modify them with doxorubicin (DOX) on their surfaces. These (Ec@DIG-GVs) can produce gas vesicles (GVs), providing a real-time imaging for remote hyperthermia high-intensity focused ultrasound (hHIFU) induce interferon (IFN)-γ gene. The production IFN-γ kill tumor cells, macrophage polarization from M2 M1 phenotype, promote maturation dendritic cells. DOX be released acidic microenvironment, resulting immunogenic cell death concurrent effects activate tumor-specific T response, producing synergistic anti-tumor efficacy. study provides promising strategy bacteria-mediated chemo-immunotherapy.

Microbial communities execute metabolic pathways to drive global nutrient cycles. Within a community, functionally specialized strains can perform different yet complementary steps within linear pathway, phenomenon termed division of labor (MDOL). However, little is known about how such behaviors shape microbial communities. Here, we derive theoretical framework define the assembly community that degrades an organic compound through MDOL. The indicates ensure stability, performing initial should hold growth advantage (m) over "private benefit" (n) strain last step. steady-state frequency then determined by quotient n and m. Our experiments show accurately predicts our synthetic consortia degrade naphthalene results provide insights for designing managing stable systems pathway optimization.

Abstract Nutritional codependence (syntrophy) has underexplored potential to improve biotechnological processes by using cooperating cell types. So far, design of yeast syntrophic communities required extensive genetic manipulation, as the co-inoculation most eukaryotic microbial auxotrophs does not result in cooperative growth. Here we employ high-throughput phenotypic screening systematically test pairwise combinations auxotrophic Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion mutants. Although coculture pairs do enter growth, identify 49 that spontaneously form syntrophic, synergistic communities. We characterized stability and growth dynamics nine cocultures demonstrated a pair tryptophan grow exchanging pathway intermediate rather than end products. then introduced malonic semialdehyde biosynthesis split between different auxotrophs, which resulted increased production. Our results report spontaneous formation stable syntrophy S. illustrate dividing labor intraspecies community.
