The paper shows membrane-binding small molecules regulate extracellular vesicle exchange in bacterial co-cultures, increasing horizontal gene transfer rates.

The paper examines how bacteria optimize public good production by balancing the trade-off between reduced growth rate and increased carrying capacity through quorum sensing.

This study identifies asymmetric membrane growth and nucleoid displacement in E. coli, suggesting a link between growth asymmetry and MreB dynamics.
