Horizontal gene transfer of molecular weapons can reshape bacterial competition
Bacteria use molecular weapons such as toxins to outcompete rivals, but their horizontal gene transfer can undermine this advantage. This study shows that horizontal gene transfer of toxin plasmids is...

What do bacterial cells do when they run out of nutrients? Although most bacterial studies focus on cells in exponentially growing states, in the wild bacteria likely spend most of their time slowly starving to death. 1/n

E. coli prepares for starvation by dramatically remodeling its proteome in the first hours after loss of nutrients
It is widely believed that due to nutrient limitations in natural environments, bacteria spend most of their life in non-growing states. However, very little is known about how bacteria change their p...
