Vibrio is a genus of ubiquitous heterotrophic bacteria found in aquatic environments.
Although they are a small percentage of the bacteria in these environments, vibrios can …

Polysaccharide breakdown by bacteria requires the activity of enzymes that degrade
polymers either intra-or extra-cellularly. The latter mechanism generates a localized pool of …

How the diversity of organisms competing for or sharing resources influences community
function is an important question in ecology but has rarely been explored in natural …

Vibrio species cause infectious diseases in humans and animals, but they can also live as
commensals within their host tissues. How Vibrio subverts the host defenses to mount a …

Viruses are highly discriminating in their interactions with host cells and are thought to play a
major role in maintaining diversity of environmental microbes. However, large-scale …

While most Vibrionaceae are considered generalists that thrive on diverse substrates,
including animal-derived material, we show that Vibrio breoganii has specialized for the …

Polysaccharide breakdown by bacteria requires the activity of enzymes that degrade
polymers extracellularly. This generates a localized pool of breakdown products that are …

Microbes form diverse and complex communities to influence the health and function of all
ecosystems on earth. However, key ecological and evolutionary processes that allow …
