From the physics of active matter to sustainable agriculture: How do beneficial bacteria generate collective motility to colonise plant roots? PHY-07-Durham

University of Sheffield Department of Physics and Astronomy

Beneficial bacteria play a major role in agriculture by recycling essential nutrients and safeguarding plants from disease. These positive interactions between plants and bacteria can be enhanced when motile bacteria actively navigate towards plant roots by sensing the compounds they secrete. Read more

The impact of bacterial metabolism on successful bacteriophage infection

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology

Bacteriophages, or phages are bacterial viruses and the most abundant and diverse biological entities on Earth. Throughout the biosphere they outnumber their bacterial hosts by at least 10 to 1 and strikingly, most of the functions of most genes encoded by phages remains unknown. Read more

Do cable bacteria produce different climate change gases in response to environmental changes

University of East Anglia School of Biological Sciences

Microbes known as cable bacteria grow vertically in 10cm filaments that span both the anoxic and oxic zones of aquatic sediments. They uniquely make energy by coupling the oxidation of reduced compounds in the anoxic zone to the reduction of oxygen, and so are not restricted by the availability of oxidised compounds in the anoxic zone (1).
