Comparison of interferometric light microscopy with nanoparticle tracking analysis for the study of extracellular vesicles and bacteriophages

This study compares interferometric light microscopy (Videodrop) with nanoparticle tracking analysis (NanoSight and ZetaView) for quantifying and sizing extracellular vesicles and bacteriophages.

The spatial heterogeneity of the gut limits bacteriophage predation leading to the coexistence of antagonist populations of bacteria and their viruses

The paper shows that spatial heterogeneity in the gut allows bacteria to coexist with their phages by providing refuge sites, challenging previous assumptions about phage-bacteria dynamics.
