Abstract Microbial communities are indispensable for future biotechnology to produce valuable platform chemicals and reduce the exploitation of fossil resources. Yet, the stability of microbial communities in classical continuous reactor setups is best brief or non-existent. This is due to ecological forces such as stochastic and deterministic properties of communities that contribute to rapid changes in structure and function to varying degrees. The review highlights the differences between these two properties, provides tools for their estimation, and gives an outlook on overcoming instabilities of microbial communities in biotechnological reactor systems.
