Spatiotemporal development of growth and death zones in expanding bacterial colonies driven by emergent nutrient dynamics

H. Kannan, P. Sun, T. Caglar, P. Yao, B. R. Taylor, K. Sahu, D. Ge, M. Mori, M. Warren, D. Kleinfeld, J. Dong, B. Li, T. Hwa

This study shows that bacterial colony expansion is driven by mechanical constraints and nutrient gradients, with cell death occurring in a distinct zone due to glucose depletion and anaerobiosis.

A Metabolic Sum Rule Dictates Bacterial Response to Short-Chain Fatty Acid Stress

B. R. Taylor, V. Patsalo, H. Okano, Y. Shen, Z. Zhange, J. R. Williamson, J. D. Rabinowitz, T. Hwa

The paper identifies a metabolic sum rule in bacteria showing that exogenous metabolite accumulation depletes endogenous metabolites, causing growth reduction, and demonstrates how cells mitigate this by acidifying their cytoplasm.

Dynamic metabolic exchanges between complementary bacterial types provide collaborative stress resistance

K. Amarnath, A. Narla, S. Pontrelli, J. Dong, B. R. Taylor, T. Caglar, J. A. Schwartzman, U. Sauer, O. X. Cordero, T. Hwa

The paper studies metabolic interactions between bacterial species under acidification, showing how complementary metabolic strategies enable collaborative stress resistance and dynamic ecosystem behavior.
