Trends Microbiol 17:226-32. 2009....
Local adaptation of bacteriophages to their bacterial hosts in soilMichiel Vos
Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK
Science 325:833. 2009..This study demonstrates the importance of biotic interactions for the small-scale spatial structuring of microbial genetic diversity in soil...
Social conflict in centimeter-and global-scale populations of the bacterium Myxococcus xanthusMichiel Vos
Department of Microbial Ecology, Netherlands Institute of Ecology, GA Heteren, The Netherlands
Curr Biol 19:1763-7. 2009..Such nonself exclusion may serve to direct the benefits of cooperation to close kin within diverse populations in which the probability of social conflict among neighbors is high...
A species concept for bacteria based on adaptive divergenceMichiel Vos
Department of Microbial Ecology, Netherlands Institute of Ecology NIOO KNAW, 6666 GA Heteren, The Netherlands
Trends Microbiol 19:1-7. 2011..More than a method for classification, the concept of adaptive divergence can be used in a 'reverse ecology' approach to identify lineages that are in the process of speciation or genes involved in initial adaptive divergence...
Siderophore-mediated cooperation and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosaAngus Buckling
Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 62:135-41. 2007..Fourth, cooperative pyoverdin production is also shown to be favoured by kin selection in vivo (caterpillars), and results in more virulent infections. Finally, we briefly outline ongoing and future work using this experimental system...
A comparison of rpoB and 16S rRNA as markers in pyrosequencing studies of bacterial diversityMichiel Vos
Department of Microbial Ecology, Netherlands Institute of Ecology NIOO KNAW, Wageningen, The Netherlands
PLoS ONE 7:e30600. 2012..Because the higher genetic resolution of the rpoB gene prohibits its use as a universal marker, we employed consensus-degenerate primers targeting the Proteobacteria...
No apparent costs for facultative antibiotic production by the soil bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1Paolina Garbeva
Department of Microbial Ecology, Netherlands Institute of Ecology NIOO KNAW, Wageningen, The Netherlands
PLoS ONE 6:e27266. 2011....
Cooperation and virulence in acute Pseudomonas aeruginosa infectionsFreya Harrison
Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK
BMC Biol 4:21. 2006..We tested this hypothesis using the cooperative production of iron-scavenging siderophores by the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa in an insect host...
A comparison of homologous recombination rates in bacteria and archaeaMichiel Vos
Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK
ISME J 3:199-208. 2009..This enables a direct comparison between species and allows for a first exploration of the question whether phylogeny or ecology is the primary determinant of homologous recombination rate...
