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...

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/...

Collective peroxide detoxification determines microbial mutation rate plasticity in E. coli

In some bacteria, mutation rates depend on environmental factors such as population density. This study uses simulation-guided experiments to show that denser microbial populations detoxify their envi...

Excited to share our new preprint! w @jfriedman.bsky.social #Microsky#evosky We tackle a simple question - How much of species evolution depends on the presence of other species? Bottom line: Most evolutionary changes were robust across strains that evolved with different biotic partners 1/
