Individual's colonization of microbes in the gut is by birth, and there is a complex interaction between the gut microbiome and human. This interaction happens at various levels like genes, transcripts, proteins, and metabolites of different microbes present in the gut. The complete understanding of gut microflora can be studied using systems biology. Further, the contemporaneous information revealed by systems biology can be used for metabolic engineering of gut microbes. The engineered microbes having more pronounced activity helps to rejuvenate the gut microflora that plays a significant role in the management of various life-threatening diseases due to microbial imbalance. This review highlights various systems biology and metabolic engineering approaches. Moreover, this review can also emphasize on the different computational simulation models which can be further used in the efficient engineering of gut microbes. The genetically engineered models can help one to predict the significant pathways present in microbes that can be modified towards diseases treatments.
个体在肠道中对微生物的定植是与生俱来的,肠道微生物组与人类之间存在着复杂的相互作用。这种相互作用发生在基因、转录本、蛋白质和肠道中不同微生物的代谢物等多个层面上。使用系统生物学可以研究肠道微生物菌群的全貌。此外,系统生物学揭示的同期信息可用于肠道微生物的代谢工程。具有更显著活性的工程微生物有助于恢复肠道微生物菌群,由于微生物失衡,肠道微生物菌群在管理各种危及生命的疾病方面发挥着重要作用。本文重点介绍了各种系统生物学和代谢工程方法。此外,本文还可以强调不同的计算模拟模型,这些模型可以进一步用于有效工程化肠道微生物。遗传工程模型可以帮助人们预测微生物中存在的重要途径,这些途径可以针对疾病治疗进行修改。
