Connecting bacterial with businesses is a
new idea.Ichiro Matsumura ，Emory University ，proposes businesses research and biological systems research may learn
from each other.The following is the abstract of his research:
Bacteria, like industrial engineers, must
manage processes that convert low value inputs into high value outputs.
Bacteria are not intelligent, so they utilize self-organizing production
systems to accelerate life-sustaining chemical processes. Here I explore two
questions. First, can businesses apply the principles of self-organization?
Second, can operations researchers contribute to our understanding of
biological systems? I explain biochemical concepts in plain terms, illustrated
with a few informative laboratory evolution experiments, and describe the
organizing principles that underlie complex biological systems. I describe the
new disciplines of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, which offer
opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration between life scientists and
operations researchers.
