[Lingchong You @lingchongyou]

New paper from the lab published in @NatureMicrobiol. On cooperation, cheating, and beautiful patterns. @DukeUBME @DukeBiodesign, led by Nan Luo, @jialu_bio and @Emrah__Simsek, and in collaboration with @StuWest8. Tweetorial to follow. https://t.co/YDb8NEMsPH

Excited to share our new preprint! @JFriedman_micro @gal_toledano
We tackle a simple question: How much of species evolution depends on the presence of other species?
Bottom line: Most evolutionary changes were robust across strains that evolved with different biotic partners 1/

[Xin Sun (bsky: xinsun-putiger) @XinSun_PUtiger]

⁦@asanchez_lab⁩ and I reviewed and discussed how we could explore microbial biodiversity using synthetic ecology 🦠🧫🧪 (and it was so fun to work and write with Alvaro!) https://t.co/ekLRPfQWPF

Happy to report that our work on when simple models can capture microbial interactions is now available online at mSystems: https://t.co/PMUnYg1SU7. Thanks to Sandra, Vaishnavi, and @KLemonLab.

Damage dynamics in individual E. coli cells as they age explains why identical cells die at different times.
Amazingly, damage follows a stochastic equation found also in mice. Aging may be universal in its fundamental dynamics. #qbio #aging

I'm happy to share our new article, in which we review methods for uncovering mechanisms of #metabolicinteractions in #plantmicrobiomes, out now in Current Opinion in Microbiology!

[Lei Dai @leidai_CAS]

Excited to share that our work on spatial profiling of microbiomes is published in Nature Communications! We developed a highly multiplexed and accurate imaging method SEER-FISH to map microbial biogeography on roots at micron-scale:

In praise of research in fundamental biology - we implore the policymakers & those in science-funding agencies who expect to see direct benefits of research investments to resist the temptation to push for quick returns https://t.co/Giqsad4YbF

[Daniel Sher @MCE_lab]

Microbial interactions are fascinating – but if we study one pair of organisms, how relevant is what we learn to other, closely related, strains? Do interactions change over time? For some interesting insights, please see our recent paper - https://t.co/ppZhCmGd9s

Our new paper @PNASNews is addressing a long-standing question in #ecology, #biodiversity sciences and #conservation biology:
How do multiple #species #coexist in fragmented landscapes?

The biofilm life cycle: expanding the conceptual model of biofilm formation

https://t.co/bAEiOH6bho

In this Review, Bjarnsholt and colleagues propose a revised conceptual model of the biofilm life cycle.

[Jonathan Friedman @JFriedman_micro]

Happy to share our latest manuscript about predicting interspecies interactions between bacteria.

Research by the talented Einat Nestor and @gal_toledano. This work started as Einat's undergrad project!

[Kashtan Lab @KashtanLab]

@linseymarr @Contreras_Lab @fabian_theis @CellCellPress Exactly. This is a major barrier for many multidisciplinary fields. But at least to some extent the situation today is much better than a 1 or 2 decades ago
