This study shows temperate phages in V. cholerae biofilms can displace non-lysogenized bacteria but face spatial and immunity constraints that limit their competitive advantage.

The paper models and validates the coordination mechanism between PilT and PilU ATPases during type IV pilus retraction using AlphaFold 3 and molecular dynamics simulations.

This study shows that chitin-bound biofilms of Vibrio cholerae are less protected against predatory bacteria than glass-bound biofilms, altering predator-prey dynamics through changes in biofilm architecture.
