Most microbes don't live in shaking flasks; spatial structure shapes how microbes interact and evolve at every scale, as we discuss in our recent review @jeroenmeijer.bsky.social @simonvanvliet.bsky.social @bedutilh.bsky.social @bramvandijk.bsky.social and others

Spatial structure: shaping the ecology and evolution of microbial communities

Great seminar last week at the @jsmc-info.bsky.social, organized by @marcelbaecker.bsky.social!
Prof. Christian Kost (@kostchristian.bsky.social) shared fascinating insights into microbial interactions and cooperation.
Always inspiring to learn from leading researchers in the field
