KITP programs are unlike a conference. Several weeks, your own office, daily seminars, impromptu blackboard sessions, and a lot of unscheduled time to think, chat and build collaborations.

I am excited to share our latest preprint by the talented @smorenogamez reporting the discovery of a new molecular mechanism of niche partitioning among gut microbes. Check out and share! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Niche partitioning by resource size in the gut microbiome

Niche partitioning promotes diversity of the human gut microbiota. However, the molecular basis of resource specialization and niche separation in the gut remains poorly understood. Here we show that...

And finally, I am proud to be able to share the work of my dear student Gabriel Vercelli and a collaboration with my (also dear) MIT colleague Ariel Furst @afurst1. This technology can open new avenues for microbiome engineering. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A universal surface functionalization technique to chemically enhance live microbial cells

Microbial surface functionalization is a powerful strategy for endowing microbes with novel, non-genetic functions. However, existing methods are often species-specific, limited in scope, and...

Finally, the "vitamin paper" is out in the ISME journal. academic.oup.com/ismej/advan… Congrats to newly minted Prof. Gregor @RachelGregorPhD and all coauthors.

Vitamin auxotrophies shape microbial community assembly on model marine particles

Abstract. Microbial community assembly is governed by the flow of carbon sources and other primary metabolites between species. However, central metabolism

Microbiome composition can explain ~50% of the variance in productivity in seawater aquaculture. We report this in a study done in collaboration with farmers and research institutes in Ecuador. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Microbiome determinants of productivity in whiteleg shrimp aquaculture

Aquaculture holds immense promise for addressing the food needs of our growing global population. Yet, a quantitative understanding of the factors that control its efficiency and productivity has...

... for example, it became clearer to me that the most likely mechanism of interactions is lysis + biomass recycling, rather than the idealized "metabolite sharing" picture one sees in network diagrams. How do we incorporate "death" into our models of microbial ecosystems? (2/2)
