Eukaryotic organisms play an important role in industrial biotechnology, from the production of fuels and commodity chemicals to therapeutic proteins. To optimize these systems, a mathematical approach can be used integrate description multiple biological networks into single model for cell analysis engineering. One most accurate models systems include Expression Thermodynamics FLux (ETFL), which efficiently integrates RNA protein synthesis with traditional genome-scale metabolic models. However, ETFL is so far only applicable E. coli. adapt this Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we developed yETFL, augmented original formulation additional considerations biomass composition, compartmentalized cellular expression system, energetic costs processes. We demonstrated ability yETFL predict maximum growth rate, essential genes, phenotype overflow metabolism. envision that presented extended wide range eukaryotic benefit academic research.

Abstract Microbial communities thrive in almost all habitats on earth. Within these communities, cells interact through the release and uptake of metabolites. These interactions can have synergistic or antagonistic effects individual community members. The collective metabolic activity microbial leads to changes their local environment. As environment over time, nature between change. We currently lack understanding how such dynamic feedbacks affect growth dynamics microbes as a whole. Here we study mediated by exchange metabolites change time within simple marine community. used microfluidic-based approach that allows us disentangle effect from they respond found two species—a degrader chitin cross-feeder consumes by-products—changes dynamically modify Cells initially positively then start compete at later stages growth. Our results demonstrate microorganisms are not static depend state environment, emphasizing importance disentangling modifications affects species interactions.

Developing embryos are metabolically active, open systems that constantly exchange matter and energy with their environment. They function out of thermodynamic equilibrium continuously use metabolic pathways to obtain from maternal nutrients, in order fulfill the energetic requirements growth development. While an increasing number studies highlight role metabolism different developmental contexts, physicochemical basis embryogenesis, or how cellular processes act together transform a zygote into adult organism, remains unknown. As we better understanding metabolism, benefit current technology development, it is promising time revisit cost development principles may govern embryogenesis.

SUMMARY Communities of microorganisms (microbiota) are present in all habitats on Earth and relevant for agriculture, health, climate. Deciphering the mechanisms that determine microbiota dynamics functioning within context their respective environments or hosts (the microbiomes) is crucially important. However, sheer taxonomic, metabolic, functional, spatial complexity most microbiomes poses substantial challenges to advancing our knowledge these mechanisms. While nucleic acid sequencing technologies can chart composition with high precision, we mostly lack information about functional roles interactions each strain a given microbiome. This limits ability predict microbiome function natural and, case dysfunction dysbiosis, redirect onto stable paths. Here, will discuss systematic approach (dubbed N + 1/N−1 concept) enable step-by-step dissection assembly functioning, as well intervention procedures introduce eliminate one particular microbial at time. The N+1/N−1 concept informed by invasion events selects culturable, genetically accessible microbes well-annotated genomes proliferation decline defined synthetic and/or complex microbiota. enables harnessing classical microbiological diversity approaches, omics tools mathematical modeling decipher underlying outcomes. Application this further provides stepping stones benchmarks structure analyses more strategies.

How natural communities maintain their remarkable biodiversity and which species survive in complex are central questions ecology. Resource competition models successfully explain many phenomena but typically predict only as resources can coexist. Here, we demonstrate that sequential resource utilization, or diauxie, with periodic growth cycles support more than resources. We explore how modify own environments by sequentially depleting to form sequences of temporal niches, intermediately depleted environments. Biodiversity is enhanced when community-driven environmental fluctuations modulate the depletion order produce different niches on each cycle. Community-driven under constant conditions rare, exploring them illuminates niche structure emerges from utilization. With fluctuations, find most have stably coexisting survivors accurately predicted same following a distinct optimal strategy. Our results thus present new niche-based approach understanding highly diverse fluctuating communities.

The concept of metabolic models with resource allocation constraints has been around for over a decade and clear advantages even when implementation is relatively rudimentary. Nonetheless, the number organisms which such model reconstructed low. Various approaches exist, from coarse-grained consideration enzyme usage to fine-grained description protein translation. These are reviewed here, particular focus on user-friendly solutions that can introduce any organism. availability kcat data major hurdle, where recent advances might help fill in numerous gaps exist this data, especially nonmodel organisms.
