Biofilm Growth Under Elastic Confinement
George T. Fortune, Nuno M. Oliveira, Raymond E. Goldstein
Bacteria often form surface-bound communities, embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix, called biofilms. Quantitative studies of their growth have typically focused on unc…
Stabilization of Microbial Communities by Responsive Phenotypic Switching
Pierre A. Haas, Maria A. Gutierrez, Nuno M. Oliveira +1
Clonal microbes can switch between different phenotypes and recent theoretical work has shown that stochastic switching between these subpopulations can stabilize microbial communi…
Subpopulations and Stability in Microbial Communities
Pierre A. Haas, Nuno M. Oliveira, Raymond E. Goldstein
In microbial communities, each species often has multiple, distinct phenotypes, but studies of ecological stability have largely ignored this subpopulation structure. Here, we show…
