Microbial cells have for many years been engineered to facilitate efficient production of biologics, chemicals, and other compounds. As the "metabolic" burden of synthetic genetic components can impair cell performance, microbial consortia are being developed to piece together specialized subpopulations that collectively produce desired products. Their use, however, has been limited by the inability to control...
