A Simple Biofilm Model of Bacterial Competition for Attached Surface
Water Research, 2002A simple biofilm model of competition in bacterial growth for an attached surface is developed. Competition for the attached surface is expressed with the crowded and detachment effects. The developed model is verified by comparing simulated results with data obtained in the experiments of batch culture of nitrifier and continuous treatment of actual ...

Bacterial competition: How to hotwire a flagellum
Current BiologyTranslocation of an effector from one soil microbe into a competitor forces the recipient to swim away using a mechanism that bypasses canonical cyclic di-GMP repression of flagellar gene biosynthesis.

Effect of bacterial chemotaxis on dynamics of microbial competition
Microbial Ecology, 1988Although the dynamic behavior of microbial populations in nonmixed systems is a central aspect of many problems in biochemical engineering and microbiology, the factors that govern this behavior are not well understood. In particular, the effects of bacterial chemotaxis (biased migration of cells in the direction of chemical concentration gradients ...

Bacterial pleomorphism and competition in a relative humidity gradient
Environmental Microbiology, 2009Summary The response of different bacterial species to reduced water availability was studied using a simple relative humidity gradient technique. Interestingly, distinct differences in morphology and growth patterns were observed between populations of the same species growing at different relative humidity. Gram‐

Bacterial Volatile Compounds: Functions in Communication, Cooperation, and Competition
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2020Bacteria produce a multitude of volatile compounds. While the biological functions of these deceptively simple molecules are unknown in many cases, for compounds that have been characterized, it is clear that they serve impressively diverse purposes.

The effect of habitat complexity on bacterial competition
The way microbes interact in nature can vary widely depending on the spatial characteristics they are located in. This aspect of the microbial environment can determine whether processes such as organic matter turnover, community dynamics, or microbial speciation, among others, occur and their impact on soil functions. Investigating how the geometry ofCarlos Arellano-Caicedo +3 more

Learning from bacterial competition in the host to develop antimicrobials
Nature Medicine, 2018In recent years, the alarming increase of antibiotic resistance, compounded by the simultaneous decrease in development of new antibiotics, has created serious concerns for public health. Moreover, current antibiotics also target the beneficial commensal microbes (microbiota) that inhabit our body, sometimes with significant health consequences.
