Competition quenching strategies reduce antibiotic tolerance in polymicrobial biofilms
npj Biofilms and MicrobiomesBacteria typically live in dense communities where they are surrounded by other species and compete for a limited amount of resources. These competitive interactions can induce defensive responses that also protect against antimicrobials, potentially ...

Sphagnum physiology in the context of changing climate: emergent influences of genomics, modelling and host-microbiome interactions on understanding ecosystem function. [PDF]
, 2014 Peatlands harbour more than one-third of terrestrial carbon leading to the argument that the bryophytes, as major components of peatland ecosystems, store more organic carbon in soils than any other collective plant taxa. Plants of the genus Sphagnum are

Adaptive tuning of mutation rates allows fast response to lethal stress in Escherichia coli
eLife, 2017 While specific mutations allow organisms to adapt to stressful environments, most changes in an organism's DNA negatively impact fitness. The mutation rate is therefore strictly regulated and often considered a slowly-evolving parameter.

The Microbial Ecology of Bacterial Vaginosis: A Fine Scale Resolution Metagenomic Analysis [PDF]
, 2010 The vaginal microbiota play an important protective role in maintaining the health of women. Disruption of the mutualistic relationship that exists between bacterial communities in the vagina and their hosts can lead to bacterial vaginosis (BV), a ...
