The paper shows that cellular chemical reaction networks achieve fitness optimization by coupling to out-of-equilibrium reservoirs, leading to significant heat dissipation, and argues that life is hot due to this mechanism.

This study shows that metabolic feedback during bacterial fermentation reduces motility in dense E. coli suspensions by acidifying the environment and decreasing internal pH.

This study shows that Labyrinthula species switch between network and aggregated colony morphologies based on liquid overlay presence and nutrient conditions.

This study investigates how E. coli bacteria navigate complex non-Newtonian fluids, finding that mechanical properties of the medium override their natural motility strategies.

This study shows the bacterial flagellar motor speed has a non-linear relationship with proton motive force, challenging existing models and showing free swimming occurs near saturation.
