The application of natural microbiomes is limited by their complex composition and uncontrollable functions, which makes synthetic microbiomes a core direction in microbiome engineering. Early binary synthetic microbiomes can achieve functional synergy under controlled conditions, whereas they exhibit poor stability and limited functional persistence in real complex environments due to their simple metabolic pathways and insufficient ecological redundancy. In recent years, the research on synthetic microbiomes has shifted from an empirically driven approach to rational design, achieving significant progress in strain resource acquisition, construction strategies (top-down, bottom-up, and their hybrid paradigms), and computational tools (e.g., genome-scale metabolic models). However, current design frameworks still focus primarily on functional realization, with insufficient attention paid to the long-term stability, system robustness, and multi-level ecological interactions of communities in complex environments. This paper systematically sorts out the evolutionary trajectory of synthetic microbiome construction paradigms and reviews the key elements for enhancing community stability. By establishing a multi-level metabolic network, this paradigm significantly improves the functional persistence and ecological robustness of synthetic microbiomes in complex and fluctuating environments. The future research on synthetic microbiomes needs to further integrate multidisciplinary technologies to improve the predictability and long-term stability of engineered microbiomes, providing a systematic theoretical framework and research directions for constructing highly robust synthetic microbiomes.
