The latent simplicity of microbial ecological interactions

José Camacho-Mateu, Isabel Quirós-Rodríguez, Giulio Burgio, Andrea Arrabal, Alfonso Mendaña, Miguel D. Fernández-de-Bobadilla, Belen Benitez‐Dominguez, Álvaro Sánchez

The paper shows microbial community function is predictable due to coordinated interactions across species, not because interactions are simple.

High CO2 levels overcome the lethality of circadian mutants in cyanobacteria

Alfonso Mendaña, María Santos‐Merino, Marina Domínguez-Quintero, Raquel Gutiérrez-Lanza, Daniel C. Ducat, Raúl Fernández-López

This study shows high CO2 levels allow circadian mutants in cyanobacteria to grow normally, revealing the clock's role in managing redox stress from carbon limitation.

Long-term evolution reveals the role of the circadian cycle in the environmental adaptation of cyanobacteria

Alfonso Mendaña, María Santos-Merino, Raquel Gutiérrez-Lanza, Marina Domínguez-Quintero, Juan Manuel Medina, Ana González-Guerra, Víctor Campa, Magaly Ducos-Galand, Rocío López-Igual, Daniel C. Volke, Muriel Gugger, Pablo I. Nikel, Didier Mazel, Fernando de la Cruz, Raúl Fernández-López

The paper uses experimental evolution to show that circadian clock mutations in cyanobacteria enhance growth under continuous light by altering transcriptomic and metabolic responses.
