An important challenge in the near future will be the optimization of bioreactors for the production of complex molecules. The aim of our research project is to combine different cell systems commonly used in biosynthesis through synthetic biology. To improve this system we want to use cells from different kingdoms because we believe that different cell types could cooperate and better produce complex molecules. The innovation and challenge will be to obtain a stable community of cells from different kingdoms and establish mutualism among them. This interdependence will be obtained through a metabolic and signaling pathways in which the survival and/or growth depends from the other cell types.<br/> | An important challenge in the near future will be the optimization of bioreactors for the production of complex molecules.
