Much of synthetic biology research makes use of model organisms, such asEscherichia coli. Here, Víctor de Lorenzo and colleagues emphasize the need for a wider choice of model organisms and advocate the use of environmental Pseudomonasstrains as model organisms that possess the necessary metabolic traits required to meet current and future synthetic biology and biotechnological needs.
