The development of reliable, mixed-culture biotechnological processes hinges on understanding how microbial ecosystems respond to disturbances. Here we reveal extensive phenotypic plasticity and niche complementarity in oleaginous microbial populations from a biological wastewater treatment plant. W...
Antibiotics revolutionized medicine, however, it is now clear that broad-spectrum antibiotics alter the composition and function of the host’s microbiome. The microbiome plays a key role in human health and its perturbation is increasingly recognized as contributing to many human diseases. Wide spre...
Gut microbiota across animals have been shown to influence host cognition and behavior. However, it remains unclear whether these cognitive effects are driven by specific bacterial species or arise from community-level interactions. Here, we leveraged the honey bee (Apis mellifera) as a ...
