The paper develops a mathematical framework to predict microbial community assembly using monoculture growth kinetics and inferred species interactions, revealing biphasic community development driven by competition and cross-feeding.

This study tracks microbial community assembly in soil bacteria, showing that spatial interactions and growth kinetics determine species success and community composition.

This study develops and benchmarks coculture microcolony experiments to quantify interspecific interactions and growth kinetics in bacterial communities.

The paper identifies a regulatory cascade controlling bistable transfer competence in ICEclc, showing it acts as an analog-to-digital converter through a feedback loop.

The paper develops a stochastic model of Drosophila larval phototaxis using light intensity and directionality, showing larvae minimize light exposure while maximizing distance from the light source.
