The paper introduces iDynoMiCS 2.0, an individual-based modeling platform for microbial communities, showing that filamentous bacteria outcompete spherical bacteria regardless of growth strategy.

This study identifies dairy slurry tanks as critical for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) prevalence and control, showing that 60 days of storage can reduce ARB spread by >99%.

This paper uses mathematical models to study Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus predation dynamics, finding that optimal predation requires specific conditions and that overexploitation can lead to extinction.

This study compares damage repair and aging in biofilms using an individual-based model, finding that aging is not beneficial and only useful under specific conditions.

This study evolves Pseudomonas putida under silver ion or nanoparticle stress, finding distinct mutation patterns linked to different cellular targets and suggesting nanoparticle-specific toxicity mechanisms.

The paper develops a mathematical model to predict minimal metal concentrations that co-select for antibiotic resistance plasmids, applying it to copper, zinc, mercury, lead, and silver.
