摘要: What is the potential for synthetic biology as a way of engineering, on large scale, complex ecosystems? Can it be used to change endangered ecological communities and rescue them prevent their collapse? are best strategies such engineering paths succeed? Is possible create stable, diverse ecosystems capable persisting in closed environments? created thrive planets different from ours? These other questions pervade major future developments within biology. The goal plagued with all kinds technological, scientific ethic problems. In this paper, we consider requirements terraformation, i.e., changing given environment make hospitable some class life forms. Although standard use term involved planetary has been recently suggested that approach could applied very context: our own planet. As discussed here, includes multiple scales, gut microbiome entire biosphere.
