Dynamic cybergenetic control of bacterial co-culture composition via optogenetic feedback

Communities of microbes play important roles in natural environments and hold great potential for deploying division-of-labor strategies in synthetic biology and bioproduction. Here, in a community of two competing E. coli strains, the authors show that the relative abundances of the strains can be...
