Single-cell trait diversity explains niche and fitness differences in aquatic microbial communities

S. Fontana, D. A. Schmitz, M. Daniels, F. Danza, T. Röösli, H. Bruderer, J.-C. Walser, J. Dekaezemacker, S. Escrig, A. Meibom, F. Pomati, F. Schreiber

The paper measures single-cell trait diversity in lake microbial communities and finds it correlates with ecosystem functioning, while genetic diversity does not.

Negative interactions and virulence differences drive the dynamics in multispecies bacterial infections

D. A. Schmitz, R. C. Allen, R. Kümmerli

This study investigates how virulence and competitive interactions among bacterial species affect host mortality in polymicrobial infections, finding that the most virulent species determines host survival regardless of combination.
