Becker J, Pollak S, Berta-Thompson J, Becker K, Braakman R, Dooley K, et al.
mBio . 2024 Oct; 15(11):e0349723. PMID: 39422514
is a diverse picocyanobacterial genus and the most abundant phototroph on Earth. Its photosynthetic diversity divides it into high-light (HL)- or low-light (LL)-adapted groups representing broad phylogenetic grades-each composed of...

Guseva K, Mohrlok M, Alteio L, Schmidt H, Pollak S, Kaiser C
PLoS Comput Biol . 2024 Aug; 20(8):e1012320. PMID: 39116194
Although depolymerization of complex carbohydrates is a growth-limiting bottleneck for microbial decomposers, we still lack understanding about how the production of different types of extracellular enzymes affect individual microbes and...

Shan X, Wasson P, Rao Y, Backer S, Leal L, Albright 3rd V, et al.
Environ Sci Technol . 2024 Jul; 58(29):13000-13009. PMID: 38980166
Natural and chemically modified polysaccharides are extensively employed across a wide array of industries, leading to their prevalence in the waste streams of industrialized societies. With projected increasing demand, a...

Gralka M, Pollak S, Cordero O
Nat Microbiol . 2023 Aug; 8(10):1799-1808. PMID: 37653010
Heterotrophic bacteria-bacteria that utilize organic carbon sources-are taxonomically and functionally diverse across environments. It is challenging to map metabolic interactions and niches within microbial communities due to the large number...

Szabo R, Pontrelli S, Grilli J, Schwartzman J, Pollak S, Sauer U, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Jul; 119(30):e2117748119. PMID: 35862452
In many natural environments, microorganisms decompose microscale resource patches made of complex organic matter. The growth and collapse of populations on these resource patches unfold within spatial ranges of a...

Pontrelli S, Szabo R, Pollak S, Schwartzman J, Ledezma-Tejeida D, Cordero O, et al.
Sci Adv . 2022 Feb; 8(8):eabk3076. PMID: 35196097
Metabolic processes that fuel the growth of heterotrophic microbial communities are initiated by specialized biopolymer degraders that decompose complex forms of organic matter. It is unclear, however, to what extent...

Pollak S, Gralka M, Sato Y, Schwartzman J, Lu L, Cordero O
Sci Adv . 2021 Jul; 7(31). PMID: 34321201
Bacteria often interact with their environment through extracellular molecules that increase access to limiting resources. These secretions can act as public goods, creating incentives for exploiters to invade and "steal"...

Liao J, Guo X, Weller D, Pollak S, Buckley D, Wiedmann M, et al.
Nat Microbiol . 2021 Jul; 6(8):1021-1030. PMID: 34267358
Natural bacterial populations can display enormous genomic diversity, primarily in the form of gene content variation caused by the frequent exchange of DNA with the local environment. However, the ecological...
