Abstract

Microbial Community Coalescence for Microbiome Engineering.

Highlights

  • Microbiome engineering, and especially plant host-mediated microbiome selection (Mueller and Sachs, 2015), is a recently introduced set of methods by which microbial communities are selected in order to maximize certain fitness- or performance-related host functions, most typically of plants, and for animals

  • One aspect that has so far not been considered as an underlying process of importance in microbiome engineering is community coalescence; yet, it is quite clear that community coalescence is an integral part of microbiome engineering approaches

  • Microbiome engineering comes in many different forms (Mueller and Sachs, 2015) and depending on which pathway is pursued community coalescence can be a more or less prominent feature, but community coalescence is clearly implicitly included in the engineering process
