New research has come out recently!

First, a paper from James Medina’s PhD research on how D. discoideum can protect symbionts from competition has been published in FEMS Microbiology Ecology. This paper was a collaboration with former postdoc Justine Garcia. Read the paper here.

Two preprints were added to bioRxiv. The first preprint looks at the effect of Paraburkholderia infection on D. discoideum immune function. Read the preprint here. The second looks at whether soil conditions are associated with the frequency of symbiosis. Read this second preprint here.
