Evolution is the hallmark of life. Descriptions of the evolution of microorganisms have
provided a wealth of information, but knowledge regarding “what happened” has precluded …

Autoinduction (AI), the response to self-produced chemical signals, is widespread in the
bacterial world. This process controls vastly different target functions, such as luminescence …

The rapid development of new sequencing technologies and the use of metagenomics
revealed the great diversity of microbial life and enabled the emergence of a new …

The rapid development of synthetic biology has conferred almost perfect modification on
single cells, and provided methodological support for synthesizing microbial consortia …

In this paper, we are concerned with the species interaction model with the ratio-dependent
Holling III functional response and strong Allee effect. To explore nonhomogeneous …

Cholera remains a significant public health burden in many countries and regions of the
world, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms associated with …

Microbial communities often face external perturbations that can induce lasting changes in
their composition and functions. Our understanding of how multispecies communities …

Abstract Systems biologists aim to understand how organism-level processes, such as
differentiation and multicellular development, are encoded in DNA. Conversely, synthetic …

Ecosystems are highly structured. Organisms are not randomly distributed but can be found
in spatial aggregates at many scales, leading to spatial heterogeneity or even regular …

Artificial cells are simple cell-like entities that possess certain properties of natural cells. In
general, artificial cells are constructed using three parts:(1) biological membranes that serve …
