Papers
Nascent multicellular life and the emergence of individuality.
Silvia De Monte,Paul B. Rainey +1 more
TL;DR: A relaxed interpretation of Lewontin’s conditions is proposed and presented in the form of a set of necessary requirements for evolution by natural selection based upon the establishment of genealogical connections between recurrences of collectives, which applies to loosely defined collectives of cells.

Eco-evolutionary dynamics of nested Darwinian populations and the emergence of community-level heredity
Guilhem Doulcier,Guilhem Doulcier,Amaury Lambert,Amaury Lambert,Silvia De Monte,Silvia De Monte,Paul B. Rainey,Paul B. Rainey +7 more
TL;DR: Using mechanistic mathematical models, it is shown how simple manipulations to population structure can exogenously impose Darwinian-like properties on communities, causing communities to participate directly in the process of evolution by natural selection and drives the evolution of cell-level interactions to the point where, despite underlying stochasticity, derived communities give rise to offspring communities that faithfully re-establish parental phenotype.
Phenotypic variation of Pseudomonas putida and P. tolaasii affects the chemotactic response to Agaricus bisporus mycelial exudate.
S. I. S. Grewal,Paul B. Rainey +1 more
TL;DR: Investigations into the nature of the attractants contained in the mycelial exudate indicated that they are predominantly small (Mr less than 2000) thermostable compounds.

Identification of a gene cluster encoding three high‐molecular‐weight proteins, which is required for synthesis of tolaasin by the mushroom pathogen Pseudomonas tolaasii
TL;DR: SDS‐PAGE analysis of protein extracts from wild‐type P. tolaasii demonstrated the presence of three high‐molecular‐Weight proteins, including those encoding TL1, TL2 and TL3, which concluded that at least five genetic loci are required for tolaasin synthesis.

Single-step conjugative cloning of bacterial gene fusions involved in microbe-host interactions.
TL;DR: This work describes a rapid, single-step, triparental conjugative approach for recovering chromosomally integrated fusion plasmids from both Pseudomonas fluorescens and Salmonella typhimurium and extends the utility of the IVET approach to clinically and agronomically relevant microbes.
