The paper investigates how Pseudomonas protegens uses secondary metabolites to invade soil communities and identifies mechanisms by which other microbes resist these metabolites.

This study shows that bacillibactin from Bacillus subtilis affects the growth of Pseudomonas marginalis through iron-dependent metabolic interactions.

This study evolves Bacillus subtilis in co-culture with Aspergillus niger, finding enhanced surfactin production and surface spreading that inhibit fungal growth.

This paper introduces a transparent soil system to study B. subtilis chemical ecology under controlled conditions and demonstrates its use for detecting lipopeptide production and dynamics.

The paper identifies phage-encoded biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that weaponize bacteria, enhancing their competitive fitness against relatives.

This study investigates how secondary metabolites from Bacillus subtilis affect semi-synthetic bacterial communities in soil, showing reduced abundance of specific genera when NRP-producing strains are present.
