Realizing Microbial Evolution. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol, 2016 Genome sequences have become the new phenotype for microbial evolutionists. The patterns of diversity revealed in the first 100 bacterial genomes fostered development of a comprehensive framework that can explain their contents, organization, and evolution.

Survival of the simplest in microbial evolution. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 AbstractThe evolution of microbial and viral organisms often generates clonal interference, a mode of competition between genetic clades within a population. Here we show how interference impacts systems biology by constraining genetic and phenotypic complexity. Our analysis uses biophysically grounded evolutionary models for molecular phenotypes, such

Importance of positioning for microbial evolution. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014 Significance Microbes commonly form dense communities that are central to many diseases and bioremediation. Here we demonstrate a simple and general principle of living in dense communities: microbes will commonly compete to reach nutrients at the community edge, akin to plants competing for light.

Microbial adaptive evolution [PDF]
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2021 Abstract Bacterial species can adapt to significant changes in their environment by mutation followed by selection, a phenomenon known as “adaptive evolution.” With the development of bioinformatics and genetic engineering, research on adaptive evolution has progressed rapidly, as have applications of the process.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Coastal marine ecosystems are some of the most diverse natural habitats while being highly vulnerable in the face of climate change. The combination of anthropogenic influence from land and ongoing climate change will likely have severe effects on the ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 The planktonic realm from bacteria to zooplankton provides the baseline for pelagic aquatic food webs. However, multiple trophic levels are seldomly included in time series studies, hampering a holistic understanding of the influence of seasonal dynamics

Redefining the Taxonomic Boundaries of Genus Xanthomonas
Taxonomy, 2023 The genus Xanthomonas primarily comprises phytopathogenic species. By carrying out deep phylo-taxonogenomics, we recently reported that the genera Xylella, Stenotrophomonas, and Pseudoxanthomonas are misclassified and belong to the genus Xanthomonas ...

Microbial Genetics and Evolution
Microorganisms, 2022 Although proto-evolutionary ideas date back to the time of the ancient Greeks, the idea that organisms evolve was not considered a basic element of scientific knowledge until Charles Darwin published his “On the Origin of Species” in 1859 [...]

mSystems, 2021 A considerable fraction of organic matter derived from photosynthesis in the euphotic zone settles into the ocean’s interior and, as it progresses, is degraded by diverse microbial consortia that utilize a suite of extracellular enzymes and membrane ...
