Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.

Commensal E. coli Stx2 lysogens produce high levels of phages after spontaneous prophage induction
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015 Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) is a food-borne pathogen that causes disease ranging from uncomplicated diarrhea to life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and nervous system complications.

Viral Transmission Dynamics at Single-Cell Resolution Reveal Transiently Immune Subpopulations Caused by a Carrier State Association. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Monitoring the complex transmission dynamics of a bacterial virus (temperate phage P22) throughout a population of its host (Salmonella Typhimurium) at single cell resolution revealed the unexpected existence of a transiently immune subpopulation of host

Lysogen stability is determined by the frequency of activity bursts from the fate‐determining gene
Molecular Systems Biology, 2010 The ability of living cells to maintain an inheritable memory of their gene‐expression state is key to cellular differentiation. Bacterial lysogeny serves as a simple paradigm for long‐term cellular memory.

Hydrogen Evolution via Oxygen Tolerant [NiFe]‐Hydrogenase Immobilized on TiO2 Nanotubes
Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.Hydrogenase‐immobilized TiO2 nanotube was developed by the electropolymerization of polypyrrole and hydrogenase drop‐casting, and cathodic current is reported. Hydrogenase was extracted from E. coli, which can be more oxygen tolerant than the previous hydrogenase electrode.
