Bacterial bioconvection confers context-dependent growth benefits and is robust under varying metabolic and genetic conditions

This study shows that bioconvection provides growth benefits to two bacterial species under varying conditions and is robust to genetic and metabolic changes.

Physical factors contributing to regulation of bacterial surface motility

This study investigates how physical factors like water availability and flow regulate bacterial surface motility in groups of Bacillus subtilis.

Competitive ecosystems are robustly stabilized by structured environments

The paper shows that structured environments stabilize competitive microbial communities by influencing the distribution of competitive fitness and reducing competitive exclusion.

Structured environments fundamentally alter dynamics and stability of ecological communities

This study shows that environmental structure significantly affects microbial community dynamics and stability, depending on species interactions.
