This study uses time-lapse imaging to analyze phage infection dynamics in bacteria, revealing heterogeneity and its impact on phage fitness.

The paper develops a model to show how cell death and growth dynamics affect DNA replication-based estimates of microbial growth, validating findings with experiments on E. coli.

The paper shows that microbial persistence under osmotic stress in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron depends on both growth capacity and reduced cell loss.

This study shows how osmotic conditions influence co-evolution between E. coli and T4 phage, with different resistance mechanisms emerging under varying osmolalities.

This paper uses agent-based simulations to show that lysis time variability in bacteriophages can provide a fitness advantage in competition, even when reducing growth rate in isolation.
