Metabolic rules of microbial community assembly

S. Estrela, J. C. Vila, N. Lu, D. Bajic, M. Rebolleda-Gomez, C.-Y. Chang, A. Sanchez

This study shows microbial community assembly is predictable from metabolic principles, with taxonomic variability explained by competitive exclusion within functional groups.

Potential function of CbuSPL and gene encoding its interacting protein during flowering in Catalpa bungei

Z. Wang, T. Zhu, E. Fan, N. Lu, F. Ouyang, N. Wang, G. Yang, L. Kong, G. Qu, S. Zhang, W. Ma, J. Wang

The paper identifies CbuSPL9 and its interacting protein CbuHMGA in Catalpa bungei, showing they form a heterodimer and may regulate flowering development, not transition.

Emergent Simplicity in Microbial Community Assembly

J. E. Goldford, N. Lu, D. Bajic, S. Estrela, M. Tikhonov, A. Sanchez-Gorostiaga, D. Segre, P. Mehta, A. Sanchez

The paper shows that microbial communities re-assemble into predictable, stable communities through non-specific metabolic cross-feeding, even when grown in minimal environments.
