Growth rate has long been known to correlate with antibiotic efficacy. In our paper "Bacterial metabolic state more accurately predicts antibiotic lethality than growth rate", we show that bacterial metabolic state in fact does an even better job.

Our recent paper 'Bacteria are important dimethylsulfoniopropionate producers in coastal sediments' delves deeper into the contribution of bacterial DMSP production in coastal sediments compared to open seawater, with some interesting discoveries along the way...
