This study shows oxygen-binding proteins enhance fitness in larger organisms under high oxygen conditions by improving oxygen diffusion efficiency.

This study shows that the horizontal expansion rate of bacterial colonies is controlled by the contact angle at the biofilm edge, validated through experimental measurements and theoretical modeling.

This study investigates the roughening of bacterial biofilms and finds that their surfaces remain smooth despite stochastic growth, due to a mechanism that freezes topographic fluctuations.
