Microbiome Engineering in Agriculture and Food Production
Microbiome manipulation promises a new era of sustainable agriculture. Engineered soil microbes can fix nitrogen more efficiently,
break down pesticides, and enhance nutrient uptake, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and improving crop yields.
Defining the Microbiome
The microbiome encompasses all the microorganisms—bacteria, viruses, fungi, archaea, and their genes—that coexist within a particular environment.
Why the Microbiome Matters
Microbes actively shape their environments. Their metabolic diversity and adaptability enable them to break down pollutants, cycle nutrients, and support life at the most fundamental levels.
