Spatiotemporal development of expanding bacterial colonies driven by emergent mechanical constraints and nutrient gradients
Stress-induced metabolic exchanges between complementary bacterial types underly a dynamic mechanism of inter-species stress resistance
Inherited chitinases enable sustained growth and rapid dispersal of bacteria from chitin particles
Microbes contribute to setting the ocean carbon flux by altering the fate of sinking particulates
Dynamic metabolic exchanges between complementary bacterial types provide collaborative stress resistance
