Effect of mutation supply on population dynamics and trait evolution in an experimental microbial community

Johannes Cairns et al.

Summary: Mutation supply can influence evolutionary and ecological dynamics by affecting population size and species interactions, particularly when population size is constrained by external conditions. Controlled experiments show that higher mutation supply enables faster adaptation to low-resource environments and anti-predatory defense mechanisms, leading to increased population size and better access to high-recurrence mutational targets.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Mobbing-Like Behavior against Acanthamoeba castellanii Bacterivore and Its Rapid Control by Quorum Sensing and Environmental Cues

Nimrod Shteindel et al.

Summary: The study reveals that Pseudomonas aeruginosa displays coordinated group attack behavior in response to predator and bacterial population density, relying on a species-specific quorum sensing molecule. Mutants unable to produce this molecule show reduced survival and nonspecific adhesion. The fast response of P. aeruginosa to the quorum sensing signal suggests the existence of a novel response mechanism different from traditional gene regulation.

antiSMASH 6.0: improving cluster detection and comparison capabilities

Kai Blin et al.

Summary: antiSMASH, a tool for detecting biosynthetic gene clusters in microorganisms, has been updated to version 6, which increases the supported cluster types, displays the structure of multi-modular BGCs, adds a new comparison algorithm, allows integration of results from other prediction tools, and improves detection of tailoring enzymes in RiPP clusters.

The evolution of convex trade-offs enables the transition towards multicellularity

Joana P. Bernardes et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that exposing unicellular green algae to a rotifer predator for just 500 generations was enough to lead to a convex trade-off between body cells and germ cells, incorporating the evolved changes into the prey genome. The evolution of cell groups was confirmed to be heritable, characterized by a convex trade-off curve between reproduction and survival, with identical mutations evolving in all cell group isolates. This research sheds light on the poorly understood major evolutionary transition towards multicellularity at the ecological and genetic level.

Functional genomics study of Pseudomonas putida to determine traits associated with avoidance of a myxobacterial predator

Shukria Akbar et al.

Summary: Predatory myxobacteria play a key role in shaping microbial communities by consuming a variety of microbial prey. While predator-prey experiments have shed light on predatory mechanisms, there is limited research on prey resistance to myxobacterial predation. Understanding the mechanisms of prey resistance can provide insights into the diversity and structure of bacterial communities.
