This paper develops a continuous bioreactor to maintain stable nasal microbiomes from swab specimens and synthetic communities, showing long-term stability and S. aureus decolonization.

The paper shows that cooperative siderophore exchange between Rhodotorula kratochvilovae and Pseudomonas species stabilizes the leaf microbiome and protects plants from pathogens.

The paper constructs synthetic nasal communities to study how community composition influences metabolic competition and S. aureus colonization resistance.

The paper shows that tyrosine availability influences Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization and its interactions with commensal bacteria.
