This study shows auxotrophy is a conserved genomic lifestyle feature, not a transient response to nutrients, challenging the Black Queen Hypothesis.

This study shows that siderophore-producing Pseudomonas strains inhibit Legionella pneumophila growth by limiting iron availability through siderophore-mediated competition.

This study examines small-scale biogeography in biofilms and its effects on sequencing-based analyses, showing that local diversity is limited and sampling strategies impact diversity metrics and co-occurrence estimates.

This study identifies bacteria that inhibit different Legionella species, showing variable inhibition patterns and highlighting the role of biosurfactants like viscosin produced by Pseudomonas lurida.

This study expands the Legionellaceae family by identifying new species and highlights the need for taxonomic restructuring based on genomic and clinical data.

The paper creates a drinking water genome catalog and identifies a widespread bacterial genus in disinfected systems, showing its adaptation to chlorinated environments.

This study compares two DNA extraction methods for Legionella quantification in water samples, finding significant differences in DNA yield and detection rates.
