This study shows auxotrophy is a conserved genomic lifestyle feature, not a transient response to nutrients, challenging the Black Queen Hypothesis.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of aptamer-Cas12a biosensors for small molecule detection, finding limited success and highlighting the need for aptamer validation.

This study shows that cell motility in microbial communities disrupts clonal clustering, increases spatial intermixing, and enhances metabolic interactions and community productivity.

This study shows that phage-mediated lysis increases the growth rate of surviving bacterial cells by recycling nutrients, which partially compensates for cell loss and affects population dynamics.

This study identifies lineage-specific transcriptional network rewiring in Mtb by analyzing proteomic and transcriptomic data from L1 and L2 strains, revealing key regulators like Rv1985c that drive phenotypic differences.

The paper shows that opposing range-dependent interactions between microbial exoproducts create complex spatial patterns of antibiotic tolerance in biofilms.

The paper investigates how auxotrophic mutants in E. coli populations grow in spatially structured communities, finding that growth is constrained by amino acid leakage and clustering.

The paper shows bacteria use contact-dependent antagonism to acquire nutrients by lysing neighbors during starvation, enhancing growth in spatially structured environments.

The paper uses a CRISPR base editor screen in yeast to identify regulators of protein abundance, revealing both specific and broad regulatory relationships.

The paper identifies chromosome 1 in Schmidtea mediterranea as a sex-primed autosome through genomic analysis showing restricted recombination and sex-specific gene expression.

This study integrates transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome data from yeast to show how genetic variation affects molecular networks and cellular growth traits, with phosphorylation playing a key role.

This study compares the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis, revealing distinct host responses in bovine macrophages.

The paper characterizes two propionate catabolism pathways in mycobacteria, showing the methylcitrate pathway's high capacity and the methylmalonyl pathway's detoxification role.

The paper updates the reference genome of Mycobacterium bovis AF2122/97 with new annotations, corrected SNPs, and confirms the presence of the RD900 locus.
