Experimental evolution of cellular miniaturization reveals a putative mechanism for cell size evolution

This study uses experimental evolution to reduce yeast cell size and identifies genetic factors contributing to cell size regulation.

Tunable Low-Rate Genomic Recombination with Cre-lox in Escherichia coli: A Versatile Tool for Anoxic Environmental Biosensing and Synthetic Biology

The paper develops a tunable Cre-lox system in E. coli for low-rate genomic recombination, demonstrating its use in an arsenite biosensor that detects and records anoxic exposure.

Overcoming toxicity: why boom-and-bust cycles are good for non-antagonistic microbes

The paper shows that boom-and-bust environmental fluctuations can favor non-antagonistic microbes by reducing the fitness cost of toxin production.

Segatella copri strains adopt distinct roles within a single individual's gut

The paper isolates and compares 63 Segatella copri strains from a single gut microbiome, revealing phenotypic and host-microbe interaction differences.
