The DIY Bio community is spread all over the world.
On the other hand, there is a growing number of DIY-Bio communities in the developing South, especially in Asia, where biotinkering is remarkably close to certain indigenous and traditional practices of knowledge creation, to what Lévi-Strauss has called 'wild thought' (Kera 2012, 3).
One of the bio-communities managed by Solarcomplex produces more electricity than it needs by itself.
Moreover, the same hubris has constructed in a society a worldview of masters of bio-community and not the stewards of the same.
The DIY-Bio community promises in particular to be a source of cheaper and simpler solutions for problems of environmental degradation, health care, food safety, and food security.
Habitat diversity indices, taxa richness, biodiversity, and bio-community indices are much higher in Shengou Creek relative to Jiangjia and Xiaobaini Ravines, attesting to the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures.
Will the global DIY-bio community evolve into a more united community or will it continue to be a somewhat heterogeneous 'scene' (Wray 2016, 179) These are some of the intriguing questions that merit further investigation.
In Europe, where the California-style techno-libertarian ethos is much less strong, aspiring entrepreneurs are also less inclined to use existing DIY-Bio community groups as springboards for launching biotech startups: "Few DIY groups in Europe attempt to commercialize their products or skills, but prefer to provide research tools and protocols for the public" (Seyfried et al. 2014).
The stewards of the bio-community enter into the much broader concept of "Planetary stewardship" envisioned as a third stage of the Anthropocene where we will need to "develop a strategy to ensure the sustainability of the Earth's life support system" (Keulartz & Bovenkark, 2016 p. 4).
Such promoters could have significant utility in the study of multi-genera bacterial bio-communities and other broad-host-range bacterial studies.
