New work posted on #biorxiv_biophys: "Biophysical metabolic modeling of complex bacterial colony morphology" biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…, based on #COMETS (COMETS), led by Ilija Dukovski with Kirill Korolev

What happens when integer programming meets the #microbiome? Multi-Attribute Subset Selection (MASS). Joint work with the Daniel Segrè group at Boston University and my former student Taiyao Wang in Nature's Communications Biology nature.com/articles/s4200…

Multi-Attribute Subset Selection is an algorithm to identify the most descriptive growth conditions in microbial phenotyping experiments. This streamlines high-throughput phenotyping efforts and helps to reveal biological insights: nature.com/articles/s4200… segrelab_news, Yannis Paschalidis

Semi-Automatic Detection of Errors in Genome-Scale Metabolic Models biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_bioinfo

We discuss how a simple concept - mass balance - provides quantitative constraints on metabolism across scales. We also highlight how enzymes and substrates, cells and resources and predators and prey all obey similar rules, as they all involve encounter and handling stages.

We propose some practical steps that can be used to integrate these concepts into experimental and theoretical work. Thanks Daniel Segre' (Daniel Segrè segrelab_news) and Twitterless Mick Follows for a fantastic intellectual trip! Find it here: rdcu.be/dP6Ql.

Microbial metabolism operates at the level of pathways, cells, ecosystems. Some quantitative principles hold at multiple scales and may help connect them. Many fun conversations with Daniel Sher (Daniel Sher) and Mick Follows, condensed in a new perspective: nature.com/articles/s4156…

More from the microbial ecology focus issue 🌐 Sher and colleagues describe how metabolic frameworks could be applied to interactions, ecosystems and global processes--a common language for microbial metabolism across scales nature.com/articles/s4156…

A major question in (marine) microbiology is "who eats what" – whether different heterotrophic groups utilize different pools of dissolved organic matter. Shira and Elena added different macromolecular pools to a natural community from the oligotrophic Eastern Mediterranean.
