The paper uses controlled enrichments along ecological gradients to uncover eco-evolutionary forces shaping microbial biodiversity in subsurface sediment.

The paper introduces Coaux-Seq, a method using DNA barcoded fragment libraries and auxotroph complementation to characterize protein function in bacteria, identifying 53 previously unvalidated proteins.

This study investigates how genomic and environmental factors influence the distribution of Castellaniella species in a contaminated subsurface, identifying genetic mechanisms underlying their adaptation to stress.

This paper extends an ecological model to predict microbiome dynamics under environmental changes and shows how precise environmental perturbations can improve microbiome control.
