Microbial Population Changes and Microbial Group Variations

摘要

The present invention relates to methods, uses, systems, arrays, engineered nucleotide sequences and vectors for inhibiting bacterial population growth or altering the relative proportions of the first and second bacterial subpopulations in a mixed population of bacteria. The invention is particularly useful for the treatment of microorganisms such as, for example, environmental, medical, food and beverage applications. The present invention relates to a method for controlling microbiologically affected corrosion (MIC) or biofouling of substrates or fluids, in particular in industrial or residential systems.
