The transcriptomic and proteomic ramifications of segmental amplification

R. K. Fritts, C. C. Ebmeier, S. D. Copley

This study examines the transcriptomic and proteomic effects of segmental amplification in E. coli, finding that mRNA scales with copy number but protein expression does not, and that amplifications affect non-amplified genes.

Enhanced nutrient uptake is sufficient to drive emergent cross-feeding between bacteria

R. K. Fritts, J. T. Bird, M. G. Behringer, A. Lipzen, J. Martin, M. Lynch, J. B. McKinlay

The paper shows that enhanced nutrient uptake by recipient bacteria, not increased excretion by producers, drives emergent cross-feeding in microbial communities.

A Rhizobiales-specific unipolar polysaccharide adhesin contributes to Rhodopseudomonas palustris biofilm formation across diverse photoheterotrophic conditions

R. K. Fritts, B. LaSarre, A. M. Stoner, A. L. Posto, J. B. McKinlay

This paper identifies a Rhizobiales-specific unipolar polysaccharide adhesin essential for biofilm formation in R. palustris under photoheterotrophic conditions but not during photoautotrophy or aerobic respiration.
