Hitting with a BAM: Selective Killing by Lectin-Like Bacteriocins
mBio, 2018 Lectin-like bacteriocins (LlpAs) are secreted by proteobacteria and selectively kill strains of their own or related species, and they are composed of two B-lectin domains with divergent sequences.

Phages Actively Challenge Niche Communities in Antarctic Soils
mSystems, 2020 By modulating the structure, diversity, and trophic outputs of microbial communities, phages play crucial roles in many biomes. In oligotrophic polar deserts, the effects of katabatic winds, constrained nutrients, and low water availability are known to ...

Statistical Mechanics of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Evolutionary Ecology [PDF]
, 2010 The biological world, especially its majority microbial component, is strongly interacting and may be dominated by collective effects. In this review, we provide a brief introduction for statistical physicists of the way in which living cells communicate genetically through transferred genes, as well as the ways in which they can reorganize their ...

Bioconvection and Bloom in Porous environment and Its Assisted Technologies: A Review [PDF]
arXivBioconvection, a phenomenon arising from the collective motion of motile microorganisms, plays a crucial role in shaping microbial distributions, fluid dynamics, and bloom formation in aquatic environments. While extensive research has explored bioconvection in open waters, a significant proportion of microbial life exists within porous habitats ...
