Modeling microbial cross-feeding at intermediate scale portrays community dynamics and species coexistence
Chen Liao, Tong Wang, Sergei Maslov +1
Social interaction between microbes can be described at many levels of details, ranging from the biochemistry of cell-cell interactions to the ecological dynamics of populations. C…
Latent Space Temporal Model of Microbial Abundance to Predict Domination and Bacteremia
Ruiqi Zhong, Tyler Joseph, Joao B Xavier +1
Gut microbial composition has been linked to multiple health outcomes. Yet, temporal analysis of this composition had been limited to deterministic models. In this paper, we introd…
Evolution at the edge of expanding populations
Maxime Deforet, Carlos Carmona-Fontaine, Kirill S. Korolev +1
Predicting evolution of expanding populations is critical to control biological threats such as invasive species and cancer metastasis. Expansion is primarily driven by reproductio…
Social interaction, noise and antibiotic-mediated switches in the intestinal microbiota
Vanni Bucci, Serena Bradde, Giulio Biroli +1
The intestinal microbiota plays important roles in digestion and resistance against entero-pathogens. As with other ecosystems, its species composition is resilient against small d…
A Quantitative Test of Population Genetics Using Spatio-Genetic Patterns in Bacterial Colonies
Kirill S. Korolev, Joao B. Xavier, David R. Nelson +1
It is widely accepted that population genetics theory is the cornerstone of evolutionary analyses. Empirical tests of the theory, however, are challenging because of the complex re…
Universality in Bacterial Colonies
Juan A. Bonachela, Carey D. Nadell, Joao B. Xavier +1
The emergent spatial patterns generated by growing bacterial colonies have been the focus of intense study in physics during the last twenty years. Both experimental and theoretica…
