Environment-organism feedbacks drive changes in ecological interactions

O. J. Meacock, S. Mitri

The paper develops a theoretical framework to distinguish between external and organism-driven environmental changes in ecological interactions, using synthetic microbial communities to demonstrate its application.

Cell motility greatly empowers bacterial contact weapons

S. C. Booth, O. J. Meacock, K. R. Foster

The paper shows that bacterial motility enhances contact-based toxin delivery by increasing inter-strain contact and target switching, improving CDI effectiveness up to 10,000-fold.

Droplet printing reveals the importance of micron-scale structure for bacterial ecology

R. Krishna Kumar, T. Meiller-Legrand, A. Alcinesio, D. Gonzalez, D. A. I. Mavridou, O. J. Meacock, W. P. J. Smith, L. Zhou, W. Kim, G. S. Pulcu, H. Bayley, K. R. Foster

The paper develops a droplet printing method to study bacterial ecology by manipulating spatial arrangements of E. coli strains and shows how micron-scale structure affects competition and coexistence.
