This study develops a microbial community to study plasmid-mediated AMR spread, showing plasmids protect the community from antibiotics and that HGT dynamics can be controlled.

This study shows that acquiring additional quorum sensing modules reduces population size variability in Burkholderia by buffering noise in growth dynamics.

The paper models how additional regulatory modules in bacterial quorum sensing improve response speed and control.

The paper shows that diauxic growth and co-utilization of multiple substrates can coexist in complex environments, with nutrient uptake order determined by biomass yield and growth rate.

The paper develops a synthetic microbial ecosystem to model metabolic interactions between a diatom and a heterotrophic bacterium, showing oscillatory behavior and stochastic extinction effects.
