Host Physiology Dependent Lysis Timing Shapes Bacteriophage Competition Under Nutrient Fluctuations

The paper models how phage lysis timing in response to host physiology affects competition under fluctuating nutrient conditions, showing delayed lysis is advantageous in feast-famine environments.

Wrinkle-like structures emerge from matrix complementarity and mechanical discontinuity in heterogenous biofilms

This study shows that wrinkles in biofilms arise from matrix complementarity and mechanical discontinuity between bacterial strains.

Pushing for survival: Spatial intermixing and indirect resistance enable collective growth

The paper shows how spatial organization and mechanical pushing enable susceptible bacteria to survive antibiotic stress through collective behavior.
