Biomimicry of bacterial foraging for distributed optimization and control
TL;DR: A computer program that emulates the distributed optimization process represented by the activity of social bacterial foraging is presented and applied to a simple multiple-extremum function minimization problem and briefly discusses its relationship to some existing optimization algorithms.

Variations in microbial community composition through two soil depth profiles
TL;DR: Using PLFAs as biomarkers, it is shown that Gram-positive bacteria and actinomycetes tended to increase in proportional abundance with increasing soil depth, while the abundances of Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and protozoa were highest at the soil surface and substantially lower in the subsurface.

Mode of action of membrane active antimicrobial peptides.
TL;DR: Although many studies support that bacterial membrane damage is a lethal event for bacteria, other studies point to a multihit mechanism in which the peptide binds to several targets in the cytoplasmic region of the bacteria.
