Microcalorimetry reveals bacterial motility as an expensive trait during starvation

Johannes M. Keegstra, Olivier Braissant, Riccardo Foffi…·Roman Stocker

This study measures the energetic cost of bacterial motility using microcalorimetry and finds it to be a significant portion of total metabolism during starvation.

Widespread attraction of marine bacteria to the macroalgae-derived polysaccharide fucoidan

Valerio Anelli, Jean‐Baptiste Raina, Riccardo Foffi…·Roman Stocker

This study shows marine bacteria are attracted to fucoidan at high concentrations, suggesting it guides them to macroalgal surfaces, influencing carbon cycling.
