Abstract:
The invention relates to methods, uses, systems, arrays, engineered nucleotide sequences and vectors for inhibiting bacterial population growth or for altering the relative ratio of sub-populations of first and second bacteria in a mixed population of bacteria. The invention is particularly useful, for example, for treatment of microbes such as for environmental, medical, food and beverage use. The invention relates inter alia to methods of controlling microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) or biofouling of a substrate or fluid in an industrial or domestic system.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of treating or preventing obesity, diabetes or a gastrointestinal condition in a subject, wherein the subject comprises a mixed gut bacterial population comprising a first bacterial sub-population and a second bacterial sub-population, wherein the first bacterial sub-population comprises  Bacteroides  bacteria and the second bacterial sub-population comprises host cells of a target bacterial species that is different from the  Bacteroides  bacteria, the method comprising increasing the relative ratio of the  Bacteroides  bacteria versus the host cells in the mixed gut bacterial population.
