Live-cell imaging captures the heterogenity of bacterial growth within intracellular bacterial communities and demonstrates that the constituent bacteria are protected from clearance by antibiotics delivered with a physiologically relevant pharmacodynamic profile.

A novel species-sorting experiment finds that phylogenetically and functionally distinct microbial communities emerge under different temperature conditions due to the resuscitation of latent diversity.

Gnotobiotic and conventional mouse models of the IBD ATG16L1T300A SNP reveal gene-microbiota-immune interactions.

A cystic fibrosis (CF) lung microbiome-informed in vitro polymicrobial system allows for a mechanistic understanding of community-specific tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to a front-line CF antimicrobial.

c-di-GMP and HipH function as a toxin-antitoxin-like module to regulate persister cell formation in bacterial biofilms.

Trait-based metagenomic analysis of an ecosystem fertilization experiment shows that genomic traits that affect the costs and rates of biochemical information-processing mediate community assembly.

Degradation products of polysaccharides trigger partial population dispersal and alter cellular metabolism, shaping the marine biomass decomposition by foraging bacteria.

A systematical study of pslG mutants at both a single cell and community level reveals the importance of intracellular glycosyl hydrolase PslG on the cell fate and biofilm development of P. aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen that can cause persistent infections.

Prokaryotic TRADD-N and Death-like adaptor domains in diverse predicted apoptosis and immune systems from multicellular prokaryotes and metazoans indicate the common origin of key apoptosis mechanisms required for the stabilization of multicellularity.

Shifts in pH that result from metabolic interactions between members of the Drosophila gut microbiota were sufficient to modulate Lactobacillus plantarum tolerance to the antibiotics rifampin and erythromycin.
