Collective Microbial Effects Drive Toxin Bioremediation and Enable Rational Design

Mahmoud Yousef, Kiseok Keith Lee, Jonathan Tang, Vasileios Charisopoulos, Rebecca M. Willett, Seppe Kuehn

This study uses community-function landscapes to design synthetic microbial consortia for BPA degradation, showing that toxicity increases epistasis and enables predictable bioremediation.
