Plasmid-driven strategies for clone success in Escherichia coli

S. Arredondo-Alonso, A. K. Pontinen, J. Gama, R. A. Gladstone, K. Harms, G. Tonkin-Hill, H. A. Thorpe, G. S. Simonsen, O. Samuelsen, P. J. Johnsen, J. Corander

The paper uses long-read sequencing to analyze plasmids and chromosomes in E. coli over two decades, revealing long-term plasmid-lineage associations and success strategies.

Testing for the fitness benefits of natural transformation during community-embedded evolution

M. R. Winter, K. Harms, P. J. Johnsen, A. Buckling, M. Vos

The paper tests if natural transformation provides fitness benefits in community-embedded evolution but finds no significant effect on fitness.

Evolutionary instability of collateral susceptibility networks in ciprofloxacin resistant clinical Escherichia coli strains

V. Sorum, E. L. Oynes, A. S. Moller, K. Harms, O. Samuelsen, N. L. Podnecky, P. J. Johnsen

This study shows that collateral networks in ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli strains are evolutionarily unstable due to compensatory mutations, particularly affecting rpoS.

Cold-triggered induction of ROS- and raffinose metabolism in freezing-sensitive taproot tissue of sugar beet

I. Keller, C. Müdsam, C. Martins Rodrigues, D. Kischka, W. Zierer, U. Sonnewald, K. Harms, O. Czarnecki, K. Fiedler-Wiechers, W. Koch, H. E. Neuhaus, F. Ludewig, B. Pommerrenig

The paper compares freezing responses in sugar beet genotypes with different tolerance levels, finding that raffinose and its precursors accumulate in pith tissue of tolerant genotypes, suggesting a protective role against freezing damage.

Cryptic β-lactamase evolution is driven by low β-lactam concentrations

C. Frohlich, J. A. Gama, K. Harms, V. H. A. Hirvonen, B. A. Lund, M. W. van der Kamp, P. J. Johnsen, O. Samuelsen, H.-K. S. Leiros

The paper shows that low β-lactam concentrations drive cryptic evolution of β-lactamases through fitness benefits in competition experiments, not increased resistance.

Vernalization alters sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) sink and source identities and reverses phloem translocation from taproots to shoots

C. Martins Rodrigues, C. Müdsam, I. Keller, W. Zierer, O. Czarnecki, J. M. Corral, F. Reinhardt, P. Nieberl, F. Sommer, M. Schroda, T. Mühlhaus, K. Harms, U.-I. Flügge, W. Koch, F. Ludewig, , B. Pommerrenig

This study shows vernalization in sugar beets reverses sink-source dynamics by altering phloem translocation and gene expression, leading to sugar remobilization from taproots to shoots.
