Construction and Characterization of Synthetic Bacterial Community for Experimental Ecology and Evolution

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Experimental microbial ecology and evolution have yielded foundational insights into ecological and evolutionary processes using simple microcosm setups and phenotypic assays with one- or two-species model systems.

Synthetic soil crusts against green-desert transitions: a spatial model [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
Semiarid ecosystems are threatened by global warming due to longer dehydration times and increasing soil degradation. Mounting evidence indicates that, given the current trends, drylands are likely to expand and possibly experience catastrophic shifts ...

Bridging the Holistic-Reductionist Divide in Microbial Ecology

mSystems, 2019
Microbial communities are inherently complex systems. To address this complexity, microbial ecologists are developing new, more elaborate laboratory models at an ever-increasing pace.

Environment Constrains Fitness Advantages of Division of Labor in Microbial Consortia Engineered for Metabolite Push or Pull Interactions

mSystems, 2022
Fitness benefits from division of labor are well documented in microbial consortia, but the dependency of the benefits on environmental context is poorly understood.

Harbouring public good mutants within a pathogen population can increase both fitness and virulence

eLife, 2016
Existing theory, empirical, clinical and field research all predict that reducing the virulence of individuals within a pathogen population will reduce the overall virulence, rendering disease less severe.
