Fluid flow analysis reveals that both swimming and sessile ciliates achieve competitive nutrient uptake, resolving the ...
The manuscript studies nutrient intake rates for stationary and motile microorganisms to assess the effectiveness of swim vs. stay strategies. This work provides valuable insights on how the different ...
How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT; also known as lateral gene transfer) is the non-sexual movement of genetic information between genomes. Incoming DNA or RNA can replace existing genes, or can introduce ...
The identification of geographical patterns in microbial distributions has begun to challenge purely ecological explanations of biogeography and the underlying principle of “everything is everywhere: ...
