Who would have thought, five years ago when I first looked at P-bodies under the microscope, that this journey would lead here. 🔬
Very happy to see this work finally out in #ScienceAdvances. Proud of this collaborative effort and grateful to everyone involved. 👏🏻🎉
Thrilled to see this article out! 🎉 It's a roadmap for starting microbial ecologists with key concepts in community ecology, their history and application to microbiomes #NicheTheory #TrophicLevels #KeystoneSpecies #Succession #Metacommunities 🤩 What I wish I'd had when I got into microbial ecology
It was a lot of fun to work with this group of ECRs from the NCCR Microbiomes network - especially when the thinking and writing happens in a cosy Swiss chalet 🏔️
Big thanks to all authors, especially Margaret Vogel, @olimeacock.bsky.social & @annasophieweiss.bsky.social for pushing it to the end 🙌
Check out our pre-print led by the fantastic Massimo Amicone, collaborating with the Bollenbach lab! tinyurl.com/4h9p8mfb We build a simple intuition on how ecological interactions affect resistance evolution by expanding evolutionary rescue theory and testing it with two large sets of experiments
Excited to share first preprint from our lab! @giubotti.bsky.social found that antibiotic tolerance in multispecies biofilms follows a surprising spatial pattern: cells survive only at intermediate distances from a partner species. 🦠 Preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202...
Happy to finally share these results:
Cross-feeding enables robust coexistence between four bacterial species

Fantastic story how bacteria exploit a host pathway to dissolve plant tissue and obtain nutrients 🤯
Uncovering these mechanisms about plant-pathogen interactions is so cool!

1/ With @maxencevincent.bsky.social, we ask: when single bacterial cells behave differently under stress, is it really just “noise”?

Also excited to share our latest collaboration with @micsysecolab.bsky.social. Divvya Ramesh showed how spatial structure can limit evolution of metabolic dependencies.
Do you have an interest in quantitative microbiology and interdisciplinary research? I'm recruiting a UK PhD student to develop high-throughput ecological screens to help us understand how chemical inputs impact microbial ecosystems: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Plant cell walls harbor vast carbohydrate reserves, yet how pathogens unlock them remains unclear. We show that the citrus canker pathogen Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) mobilizes cell wall suga...

Delighted to see this out in its final form! doi.org/10.1093/isme...
We established a discussion group focussed on the history of community ecology and how it informs our understanding of microbiota. This review distils those discussions to provide a guide for microbiologists entering the field
🚨 Paper out now in #ScienceAdvances @science.org 🌱🦠
Pathogens don’t just target protein degradation—they also hijack host translation.

Abstract. Many microbiological outcomes are shaped by the determinants of community composition, including the factors that allow pathogens to invade healt
In microbial communities, evolutionary processes can lead to loss of biosynthetic pathways, creating metabolic dependencies. The Black Queen Hypothesi…
