Really elegant work showing how spatial distance can determine the net effect of two interaction mechanisms
Nice thread on the importance of spatial structure in microbial communities
Another example showing how common it is for microbes to release metabolites way beyond what's thought of as waste products

One of the biggest challenges in microbial biotechnology? Unlocking the potential of non-model microbes and synthetic communities! Glad to share our review @sonjablasche.bsky.social @simonemozzachiodi.bsky.social @kiranrpatil.bsky.social @cambridgebiosci.bsky.social🧵(1/7) doi.org/10.1016/j.co...
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

Rapp et al. combine genome-scale CRISPRi and metabolomics in E. coli. CRISPRi of enzymes
enforces metabolite accumulation, which leads to regulatory crosstalk and side reactions.
This suggests that ma...
Imbalances in the human gut microbiome, or dysbioses, are associated with multiple diseases but remain poorly understood. Existing biomarkers of dysbiosis fail to capture the ecological mechanisms tha...
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...

In case you missed it: our review titled "Spatial structure: shaping the ecology and evolution of microbial communities" is out! 🚨
Let me hit you with some highlights on why spatial structure matters. (and why you should care!)
Sharing is appreciated 🙏 🧵👇
