Our framework explaining why ecological interactions change between contexts is out in Ecology Letters!
A lovely collaboration with @saramitri.bsky.social which provides experimentally-testable links between the physiology and ecology of microbes.

Environment‐Organism Feedbacks Drive Changes in Ecological Interactions
Ecological interactions are central to our understanding of the composition and function of communities, but attempts to use them as a theoretical foundation for experimental ecology have been confou....

Thrilled to announce that Matthias Hülsmann's new perspective is now out in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social! This exciting work is shaping how our group thinks about collective microbiome metabolism. Check it out! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A framework for understanding collective microbiome metabolism - Nature Microbiology
This Perspective explores why microbiome members perform partial metabolism of substrates and suggests that proteome efficiency is a driver of collective microbiome metabolism.

My friend & colleague @micsysecolab.bsky.social Matthias has written this extremely insightful and fascinating perspective on bacterial collective metabolism, out now in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social. So happy to see this out & super excited for proteome allocation! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For me an amazing aspect of this discovery was going back to the roots of microbiology: observing cells under the microscope. When T6SS killers were present along with prey on a carbon source that both types can metabolise- the killers wiped out prey cells
