How does light structure microbial mats?
To explore this, we studied #Cyanobacteria and Chloroflexota from hot springs. Using simple synthetic communities, we found that these species cooperate, forming stronger #biofilms and moving further together. Paper now in PNAS: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Obligate cross-feeding of metabolites is common in soil microbial communities
Many microorganisms are refractory to laboratory cultivation. One possible explanation, known as the great plate count anomaly, is metabolic dependencies among community members. However, systematic s...
