Counting to two: how phages decide between lysis and lysogeny

Janni Harju, Ghita Guessous, Zemer Gitai, Ned S. Wingreen

The paper introduces a minimal model to explain how temperate phages make lysis-lysogeny decisions based on multiplicity of infection and host factors, showing how asymmetry can arise from simple coupling to host machinery.

Competition strategies driving resource partitioning in chitin degrading communities

Sammy Pontrelli, Ghita Guessous, Julian Trouillon…·Uwe Sauer

The paper examines how resource competition between chitin degraders and GlcNAc exploiters influences community viability and growth dynamics through factors like GlcNAc liberation rates and diffusive loss.
