A modular microbial consortium for bioremediation
PI: Sarkis Mazmanian and Matt Thomson
Research Team: Joseph Boktor

Water Resources Initiative and Ecology and Biosphere Engineering Initiative
We propose a bold research program to design, generate, and validate a synthetic microbial consortium, inspired by activated sludge from local wastewater treatment plants, as a modular and adaptive scaffold for bioremediation of current and emerging contaminants
