Compositions and methods for indoor air remediation

A method of reducing or removing at least one VOC from an environment, the method comprising cultivating or maintaining in an environment comprising the at least one VOC a composition comprising engineered microbes, wherein the composition includes one or more engineered microbe populations selected from:

• (a) a first population of engineered microbes modified from a reference strain of a species selected from Bacillus metanolcius, Ogataea methanolica, Pseudomonas putida, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, or Rugosibacter aromaticivoransf,
• (b) a second population of engineered microbes modified from a second reference strain of a species selected from Methylobacterium oryzae, Methylobacterium extorquens, or Paraburkholderia phytofirmans;
• and
• (c) a third population of engineered microbes modified from a third reference strain of a species selected from Cladophialophora immunda, Cladophialophora psammophila, Cladosporiulm sphaerospermum, Exophiala xenobiotica, Hormoconis resinae, Paecilomyces variotii, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Picnidiella resinae, or Pseudoeurotium zonatum;
• wherein the engineered microbes are characterized by one or both of greater VOC removal and greater VOC metabolism when compared to their reference strain.
