They are critical to understanding the response of many ecological systems to stress. The use of organisms with recombinant DNA has added another dimension to our consideration of how cells within a population interact with each other.

Many food fermentations, such as cheese manufacture, depend on multiple interacting species. The biological treatment of wastewaters relies on an undefined complex mixture of microorganisms.
