Trade-offs constrain adaptive pathways to T6 survival

K. A. MacGillivray, S. L. Ng, S. Wiesenfeld, R. L. Guest, T. Jubery, T. J. Silhavy, W. C. Ratcliff, B. K. Hammer

This study uses experimental evolution to show that Escherichia coli evolves resistance to Vibrio cholerae's Type VI Secretion System (T6) through specific mutations, but these mutations come with fitness costs.

Vertical growth dynamics of biofilms

P. Bravo, S. L. Ng, K. A. MacGillivray, B. K. Hammer, P. J. Yunker

The paper measures biofilm height dynamics with high precision and shows that interface-based models better capture growth than logistic or nutrient depletion models.

Evolution of a cis-acting SNP that controls Type VI Secretion in Vibrio cholerae

S. L. Ng, S. A. Kammann, G. Steinbach, T. Hoffmann, P. J. Yunker, B. K. Hammer

This study identifies a cis-acting SNP in Vibrio cholerae that controls Type VI Secretion System activity, switching between constitutive and inducible states based on environmental cues.

Accumulation of dead cells from contact killing facilitates coexistence in bacterial biofilms

G. Steinbach, C. V. Crisan, S. L. Ng, B. K. Hammer, P. J. Yunker

The paper shows that dead cell debris from T6SS-mediated killing limits contact between bacterial strains, preventing population elimination and enabling coexistence.
