## Abstract Engineered microbes are of great potential utility in biotechnology and basic research. In principle, a cell can be built from scratch by assembling small molecule sets with autoβcatalytic properties. Alternatively, DNA can be isolated or directly synthesized and molded into a synthetic
Modern microbial genomics is best exemplified by determination of the complete nucleotide sequences of whole genomes. To date, the sequences of at least 11 nuclear genomes have been completed, with many more in progress. Most are microbial, with exceptions such as the eukaryotic genome Saccharomyces
