Building all combinations of microbial strains used to require tedious work or pricey robotics. A new, rapid, low-cost method makes full factorial assembly accessible to any lab.
Great work - Great impact! @asanchezlab.bsky.social

When we analyze gut microbiome samples, standard tools just collapse the 3D spatial interaction. We end up with the 2D 'flattened' ecological map. We get “species catalogs” and 'relative abundance,' but we lose the crucial 'Where’. Who a microbe is with matters as much as who they are. (2/3)
Fascinating new science in @pnas.org!
Turns out "aerobic" soil bacteria have a survival trick. When oxygen drops, they adapt by hybridizing fermentation with carbon storage to stay alive!
Nature's resilience is unmatched.

We often use dimensional reduction to simplify data, but what if geography is the point?
In our @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social paper, we explore 3D spatial organization, covering latest methods, findings, and the big questions this frontier opens up. (1/3)

In soil ecosystems, aerobic bacteria survive oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) by entering
nonreplicative persistent states. In contrast to the well-stu...

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
Managing microbial interactions in environmental biotechnology: can we scale interaction principles?
