Antibiotics present in the natural environment would induce the generation of antibiotic-
resistant bacteria (ARB), causing great environmental risks. The effects of antibiotic …

Natural soil is characterized as a complex habitat with patchy hydrated islands and spatially
variable nutrients that is in a constant state of change due to wetting-drying dynamics. Soil …

To swim through a viscous fluid, a flagellated bacterium must overcome the fluid drag on its
body by rotating a flagellum or a bundle of multiple flagella. Because the drag increases with …

We establish an analogy between the Fokker–Planck equation describing evolutionary
landscape dynamics and the Schrödinger equation which characterizes quantum …

Microswimmers such as bacteria exhibit large speed fluctuation when exploring their living
environment. Here, we show that the bacterium Escherichia coli with a wide range of length …

We have developed a mathematical model that captures stress-induced mutagenesis, a
fundamental aspect of pathogenic and neoplastic evolutionary dynamics, on the fitness …

We use a microfluidic ecology which generates non-uniform phage concentration gradients
and micro-ecological niches to reveal the importance of time, spatial population structure …
