The paper shows that microbial persistence under osmotic stress in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron depends on both growth capacity and reduced cell loss.

The paper models bacterial DNA inversion dynamics in Bacteroides fragilis under phage predation, revealing a structured, multi-locus response with persistent and transient phase-variable contributions.

This study shows that bacteriophage exposure induces DNA inversions in Bacteroides fragilis, enhancing genomic and phenotypic plasticity to adapt to phage predation and gut colonization.

The paper identifies gut microbiome signatures linked to human chronotypes using metagenomic analysis, finding associations between specific bacterial genera and metabolic pathways with early and late chronotypes.
