Microbiomes are \nhighly complex since they contain hundreds to thousands of members and change \nas a function of time, space and environmental context. By compartmentalizing \nfunctions in different organisms and coordinating these activities, microbial \ncommunities can perform biotransformations more efficiently than single \npopulations. Environmental perturbations can alter the composition and \nfunctions of microbiomes. Microbiome engineering aims to design targeted \ninterventions to predictably alter microbiome properties or wire together \ninteracting microbial strains with desired functions from the bottom-up for \nbiotechnological...
