🚨🚨New paper out in @natcomms.nature.com!!

Come for the first large-scale analysis of plasmid copy number across species,
stay for one of the most intriguing results of my lab: universal scaling laws in plasmid biology! 📈🧬

Universal rules govern plasmid copy number - Nature Communications
Plasmids exhibit a broad range of sizes and copies per cell, and these two parameters appear to be negatively correlated. Here, Ramiro-Martínez et al. analyse the copy number of thousands of diverse b...

r- and K-strategist bacteria influence glucose mineralization using an artificial soil system, Bacillus subtilis & Streptomyces cinnamoneus
Artificial soil systems: A tool for investigating microbial life strategy effects on substrate mineralization
Soil microbes play a critical role in carbon (C) cycling, however, the influence of microbial life strategies and their interactions on C mineralization remains poorly understood. This study aimed to ...

Residence Time Structures Microbial Communities Through Niche Partitioning
Much of life on earth is at the mercy of currents and flow. Residence time (τ) estimates how long organisms and resources remain in a system based on the ratio of volume (V) to flow rate (Q). We test...
