Capturing Multicellular System Designs Using Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL)
Synthetic biology aims to develop novel biological systems and increase their reproducibility using engineering principles such as standardisation and modularisation. It is important to represent

For the sake of the Bioeconomy: define what a Synthetic Biology Chassis is!
The role of synthetic biology as a fuel for the bioeconomy requires clarification of the terms typically adopted by this growing scientific-technical field. In particular,

Naked Bacterium: Emerging Properties of a Surfome-Streamlined Pseudomonas putida Strain
Environmental bacteria are usually equipped with native surface-attachment elements that can hinder the engineering of biofilms. In this work, the genome of Pseudomonas putida KT2440
