Bows and swords: why bacteria carry short and long-range weapons

S. C. Booth, W. P. J. Smith, K. R. Foster

The paper develops an agent-based model to compare short-range and long-range bacterial weapon systems, showing they function differently based on population dynamics and test predictions using Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Collective protection against the type VI secretion system in bacteria

E. T. Granato, W. P. J. Smith, K. R. Foster

The paper shows how EPS-producing bacteria collectively defend against T6SS attacks through EPS sharing and flank protection.

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.
