Scientists control bacterial mutations to preserve antibiotic effectiveness Great work by @RowanCallumGre1 with @Rok_Krasovec several others and me:

In some bacteria, mutation rates depend on environmental factors such as population density. This study uses simulation-guided experiments to show that denser microbial populations detoxify their...
Super excited that the final version of our paper on mutation rate plasticity and oxidative stress is out now at PLoS biology! This paper shows how mutation rates are a highly dynamic trait shaped by genotype, community composition and abiotic factors. 1/8
