To Grow, or Not To Grow? The role of metabolic state in antibiotic lethality
Growth rate has long been known to correlate with antibiotic efficacy. In our paper "Bacterial metabolic state more accurately predicts antibiotic lethality than growth rate", we show that bacterial metabolic state in fact does an even better job.
Digging into the importance of bacterial DMSP synthesis in saltmarsh sediments
Our recent paper 'Bacteria are important dimethylsulfoniopropionate producers in coastal sediments' delves deeper into the contribution of bacterial DMSP production in coastal sediments compared to open seawater, with some interesting discoveries along the way...
