Pseudomonas aeruginosa surface motility and invasion into competing communities enhances interspecies antagonism

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses type IV pili-mediated chemotaxis to invade and disrupt Staphylococcus aureus microcolonies, enhancing interspecies antagonism.

Multispecies biofilm architecture determines bacterial exposure to phages

This study shows that multispecies biofilm architecture affects phage exposure and community dynamics in E. coli and V. cholerae co-cultures.

Breakdown of clonal cooperative architecture in multispecies biofilms and the spatial ecology of predation

The paper investigates how predator-prey dynamics between Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli in biofilms affect their spatial structure and survival under Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus predation.
