This study shows that metal-binding ligands, not redox-active metabolites, drive microbially-induced corrosion of cobalt, with oxygen initiating oxidation and unknown metabolites preventing cobalt oxide precipitation.

This study shows that the fitness effects of antimicrobial resistance mutations vary widely across genetic backgrounds and environments in Escherichia coli, challenging assumptions about their predictability.

The paper develops a Golden Gate assembly system for constructing Escherichia coli bioreporters that detect mercury and arsenic under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

The paper identifies that both epistasis and physical linkage can drive correlated evolution detected computationally under antibiotic selection in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
