Genome and Fatty Acid Analysis of Pseudomonas stutzeri
TL;DR: An examination of the distributions of macrorestriction fragments resulting from digestion with XbaI and SpeI showed that both distributions differed significantly from the expected (random) distribution, suggesting that there is a supragenic level of chromosomal organization.

TL;DR: It is shown that a drop-based millifluidic system enables the detection of heritable phenotypic changes in evolving bacterial populations and opens the door to large-scale phenotyping methods with special utility for microbiology and microbial population biology.

TL;DR: The number of culturable bacteria and Erwinia were found to fluctuate diurnally, increasing in size overnight and declining during daylight hours, while the number of Arthrobacter and yeasts were constant throughout the study, even after rainfall.

Meta-population structure and the evolutionary transition to multicellularity.
TL;DR: The results show that the transition to multicellularity benefits from ecological conditions that maintain discreteness not just of the group (soma) phase, but also of the dispersal (germline) phase.
IVET experiments in Pseudomonas fluorescens reveal cryptic promoters at loci associated with recognizable overlapping genes.
TL;DR: Limits to the type of information that can be obtained simply by standard computational analysis of DNA sequences indicate that genomics should be just one of a number of tools used to study complex systems.
