Bacterial microcompartments and the modular construction of microbial metabolism

Highlights • Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) can be considered genetic, metabolic, structural, and evolutionary modules. • Specialist BMCs help define the role of host bacteria in an ecosystem. • Their structural and functional modularity can be harnessed to engineer bespoke BMCs.
