Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

The extent to which microbial processes control soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics remains uncertain. Carbon use efficiency (CUE), that is, the fraction of assimilated carbon allocated to growth, has ...

Microbial productivity, metabolite fluxes, nutrient cycling and biosignatures are directly linked to microbial growth rates, which remain largely unknown in subsurface environments. Here, we apply ...
