Ribosomal RNA and ribosome exchange occurred across Clostridium acetobutylicum, Clostridium ljungdahlii, and Clostridium kluyveri co-cultures, generating hybrid cells.
Evaluation using species-specific ribosomal RNA-FISH paired with high-throughput flow cytometry tracked distinct translation machinery localization and population dynamics.
Ribosomal RNA-FISH enables direct assessment of consortium health and expansion potential, supporting non-engineered microbial communities without selective markers.
