Introgression impacts the evolution of bacteria, but species borders are rarely fuzzy - Nature Communications It is commonly thought that bacterial species borders tend to be fuzzy, due to frequent exchange of DNA. Here, Diop et al. quantify the patterns of gene flow between core genomes across 50 major bacte...

The core genomic backbone of bacteria is not necessarily resilient to gene flow! A new study shows that introgression impacts, on average, 2% of the core genes of species - www.nature.com/articles/s41... #microevo #microeco #evolution

Transcriptomic profiles of single-copy marker genes enable predicting bacterial growth states in microbial communities Studying microbial community dynamics is fundamental to better understand ecosystem stability, resilience and environmental change. Community composition changes with the growth of individual members,...

🚨New preprint from the lab🚨 We present a transcriptomic, marker gene-based growth classifier that predicts the growth states of bacterial strains from different phyla cultivated in diverse conditions.

"What is more valuable: Time or money? The answer may surprise you. Microeconomics tells us that opportunity cost plays a crucial role in decision-making, making this age-old question all the more relevant. #Microeco... learn how i got $1256 grant for my business: tinyurl.com/financialhel...

Risk–reward trade-off during carbon starvation generates dichotomy in motility endurance among marine bacteria - Nature Microbiology Marine bacteria opt for divergent foraging strategies when faced with carbon starvation—either cease motility entirely, or convert biomass to energy to retain motility.

Very cool study - motility in marine bacteria represents a risk-reward trade off under carbon starvation: some keep swimming at the expense of biomass while others stop swimming #MicroEco - www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Of all the animals I know BEAVERS were the ones that caused most damage to my work. In Canada they were eating my trees and now they sabotaged the railway. Let me see if I make it for my meeting. #Microeco
