Designing Reactor Microbiomes for Chemical Production from Organic Waste

Piotr Oleskowicz-Popiel. Trends Biotechnol. 2018 Aug.

Abstract

Microorganisms are responsible for biochemical cycles and therefore play essential roles in the environment. By using omics approaches and network analysis to understand the interaction and cooperation within mixed microbial communities, it would be possible to engineer microbiomes in fermentation and digestion reactors to convert organic waste into valuable products.

Keywords: anaerobic digestion; medium chain fatty acids; microbiome; mixed culture fermentation; omics techniques.
