Ribosome-binding antibiotics increase bacterial longevity and growth efficiency
Antibiotics, by definition, reduce bacterial growth rates in optimal culture conditions;
however, the real-world environments bacteria inhabit see rapid growth punctuated by …

Microbial population dynamics and evolutionary outcomes under extreme energy limitation
Microorganisms commonly inhabit energy-limited ecosystems where cellular maintenance
and reproduction is highly constrained. To gain insight into how individuals persist under …

Death and population dynamics affect mutation rate estimates and evolvability under stress in bacteria
The stress-induced mutagenesis hypothesis postulates that in response to stress, bacteria
increase their genome-wide mutation rate, in turn increasing the chances that a descendant …

Antibiotic-degrading resistance changes bacterial community structure via species-specific responses
Some bacterial resistance mechanisms degrade antibiotics, potentially protecting
neighbouring susceptible cells from antibiotic exposure. We do not yet understand how such …
