Microbial Community Assembly
Data for: Timing of antibiotic administration determines the spread of plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance during microbial range expansion

Plasmids are the main vector by which antibiotic resistance is transferred between bacterial cells within surface-associated communities. In this study, we ask whether there is...

Data for: Fungal hyphae regulate bacterial diversity and plasmid-mediated functional novelty during range expansion

The amount of bacterial diversity present on many surfaces is enormous, yet how these levels of diversity persist in the face of the purifying processes that occur as bacterial...

Microbial Community Assembly
Data for: Rare and localized events stabilize microbial community composition and patterns of spatial self-organization in a fluctuating environment

Spatial self-organization is a hallmark of surface-associated microbial communities that is governed by local environmental conditions and further modified by interspecific...

Data for: Denitrification in low oxic environments increases the accumulation of nitrogen oxide intermediates and modulates the evolutionary potential of microbial populations

Denitrification in oxic environments occurs when a microorganism uses nitrogen oxides as terminal electron acceptors even though oxygen is available. While this phenomenon is...

Data for: Evaporation-induced hydrodynamics control plasmid transfer during surface-associated microbial growth

Droplet evaporation is a general process in unsaturated environments that results in micro-scale hydrodynamic flows which in turn determine the spatial distributions of...

Data for: Phage predation accelerates the spread of plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance

The spread of antibiotic resistance is an emerging health crisis. Here, we demonstrate that phage predation can increase the transfer and proliferation of plasmid-encoded...

Data for: Metabolic interactions regulate the transfer and proliferation of plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance during surface-associated microbial growth

Surface-associated microbial systems are hotspots for the spread of plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance, but how surface association affects plasmid transfer and proliferation...

Data for: Fungal hyphae promote bacterial contact-dependent killing during surface-associated growth

Bacterial contact-dependent killing in spatially structured systems is shaped by physical constraints and biological interactions. In this study, we demonstrate the importance...

Data for: Phage-mediated peripheral kill-the-winner facilitates the maintenance of costly antibiotic resistance

The persistence of antibiotic resistant (AR) bacteria in the absence of antibiotic pressure raises a paradox regarding the fitness costs associated with antibiotic resistance....

Microbial Community Assembly
Data for: Evaporation controls contact-dependent bacterial killing during surface-associated growth

Many bacteria employ contact-dependent killing mechanisms, which require direct physical contact with a target cell, to gain an advantage over competitors. Here, we hypothesize...
