Functional Description

MultiPus (for MULTIple species for the synthetic Production of Useful biochemical Substances) is an algorithm that, given a microbial consortium given as input, identifies all optimal sub-consortia to synthetically produce compounds that are either exogenous to it, or are endogenous but where interaction among the species in the sub-consortia could improve the production line.
