How does metabolic dependency evolve at the single cell level? 🔄 In our new preprint, Divvya Ramesh combines microfluidics, microscopy and modelling to show that the benefits of gene loss are highly context dependent. Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Also excited to share our latest collaboration with @micsysecolab.bsky.social. Divvya Ramesh showed how spatial structure can limit evolution of metabolic dependencies.

Wrapping up a productive week: very glad to have contributed to this review on how spatial structure shapes microbial ecology and evolution, led by @marcelbaecker.bsky.social, @bedutilh.bsky.social, @bramvandijk.bsky.social and many others. doi.org/10.1093/fems...
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...

Huge thanks to our amazing collaborators in @nccr-antiresist.bsky.social and NCCR Microbiomes!
Using a quantitative framework we show that this pattern emerges from the combined effect of two opposing interactions with different ranges. As a result, spatial arrangement determines overall tolerance by balancing the relative importance of these interactions.

Most microbes don't live in shaking flasks; spatial structure shapes how microbes interact and evolve at every scale, as we discuss in our recent review @jeroenmeijer.bsky.social @simonvanvliet.bsky.social @bedutilh.bsky.social @bramvandijk.bsky.social and others academic.oup.com/femsre/artic... 🧵👇
