This reference book compiles the latest techniques and applications of microbiome engineering. Microbial communities interact dynamically with their hosts, creating a considerable impact on the host and their ecosystem. This book introduces readers to microbiomes and microbiome engineering. It covers topics like omics tools in microbial research, strategies to engineer human microbiomes, the application of synthetic biology to build smart microbes, and the future of microbiome engineering. It includes the application of microbiome engineering in improving human health, livestock, and agricultural productivity. The book is intended for researchers and students in the fields of microbiology and biotechnology.
An interplay between the diet and the microbiota appears to regulate the host responses. It is now well acknowledged that the microbiota and their metabolites such as short chain fatty acids, bile acids, etc modulates the metabolic status, educates the host’s intestinal immune system, and protects the host against invading pathogens and injury. Concomitantly, environmental factors such as diets and dietary components play a major role in shaping the microbiota, thereby modulating the host immune and epithelial responses, and ultimately directing the individual’s health status. Disruption in any of these elements or their interactions have been linked to the development and progression of...
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
