Engineered microbial consortia: strategies and applications

Microbial Cell Factories, 2021
Many applications of microbial synthetic biology, such as metabolic engineering and biocomputing, are increasing in design complexity. Implementing complex tasks in single populations can be a challenge because large genetic circuits can be burdensome ...

Exploring the microbial savanna: predator-prey interactions in the soil

Molecular Systems Biology
Soils host complex multi-trophic communities with diverse, mostly microbial, predator and prey species, including numerous bacterivorous protists and bacterial prey.

A statistical model for describing and simulating microbial community profiles.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2021
Many methods have been developed for statistical analysis of microbial community profiles, but due to the complex nature of typical microbiome measurements (e.g.

Quantitative microbial population study reveals geographical differences in bacterial symbionts of Ixodes ricinus

Microbiome, 2021
Background Ixodes ricinus ticks vector pathogens that cause serious health concerns. Like in other arthropods, the microbiome may affect the tick’s biology, with consequences for pathogen transmission.

Population structure discovery in meta-analyzed microbial communities and inflammatory bowel disease using MMUPHin

Genome Biology, 2022
Microbiome studies of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have achieved a scale for meta-analysis of dysbioses among populations. To enable microbial community meta-analyses generally, we develop MMUPHin for normalization, statistical meta-analysis, and ...

Phase transitions in biology: from bird flocks to population dynamics

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021
Phase transitions are an important and extensively studied concept in physics. The insights derived from understanding phase transitions in physics have recently and successfully been applied to a number of different phenomena in biological systems. Here,

Heterogeneity of treatment responses in rheumatoid arthritis using group based trajectory models: secondary analysis of clinical trial data

BMC Rheumatology, 2023
Background Traditionally rheumatoid arthritis (RA) trials classify patients as responders and non-responders; they ignore the potential range of treatment responses. Group Based Trajectory Models (GBTMs) provide a more refined approach.

Extending an eco-evolutionary understanding of biofilm-formation at the air-liquid interface to community biofilms [PDF]

, 2020
Growing bacterial populations diversify to produce a number of competing lineages. In the Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 model system, Wrinkly Spreader mutant lineages, capable of colonising the air-liquid interface of static microcosms by biofilm ...
