Excited to share our latest paper in PLOSCompBiol @plos.bsky.social ! journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... Our study dives into the comparison of possible extracellular polysaccharide degradation strategies and their impact on microbial growth and community dynamics. 1/6 #Microbialecology

Our paper looking at algae-bacteria interactions across thousands of nutrient conditions using droplet microfluidics is out now in Cell Systems: authors.elsevier.com/c/1jixB8YyDf...

New Microbial Primer published: What is the stringent response and how does it allow bacteria to survive stress? #MicroSky www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/micr...

Our article on microbial interactions is out! We discuss what are microbial interactions, what are they useful for, and how to quantify them. For more, see lead author @nittaym.bsky.social 's 🧵: x.com/NittayMeroz/... or read the full article here (free access until Sep 1st): shorturl.at/ONiNS

Super excited that the final version of our paper on mutation rate plasticity and oxidative stress is out now at PLoS biology! This paper shows how mutation rates are a highly dynamic trait shaped by genotype, community composition and abiotic factors. 1/8 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
