Synthetic light-driven consortia composed of phototrophs and heterotrophs have attracted increasing attention owing to their potential to be used in sustainable biotechnology. In recent years, synthetic phototrophic consortia have been used to produce bulk chemicals, biofuels, and other valuable bioproducts. In addition, autotrophic-heterotrophic symbiosis systems have potential applications in wastewater treatment, bioremediation, and as a method for phytoplankton bloom control. Here, we discuss progress made on the biosynthesis of phototrophic microbial consortia. In addition, strategies for optimizing the synthetic light-driven consortia are summarized. Moreover, we highlight current challenges and future research directions for the development of robust and controllable synthetic light-driven consortia.
合成光驱动生物群落由光合生物和异养生物组成，由于它们在可持续生物技术中的潜在应用而受到越来越多的关注。近年来，合成光合生物群落已被用于生产大宗化学品、生物燃料和其他有价值的生物制品。此外，自养-异养共生系统在废水处理、生物修复以及控制浮游植物水华方面具有潜在的应用。在这里，我们讨论了光合微生物群落生物合成的进展。此外，还总结了优化合成光驱动生物群落的策略。此外，我们还强调了开发稳健可控的合成光驱动生物群落目前面临的挑战和未来的研究方向。
