Auxotrophy is thought to be common among bacteria but not in environmental pseudomonas spp? Thanks to all the co-authors who contributed and made this research possible: Benjamin Heiniger, Shaohua Gu, @swagatika.bsky.social, Christian Ahrens and @rkmicrobes.bsky.social

Low Levels of Amino Acid Auxotrophy Among Environmental <fi>Pseudomonas</fi> Isolates
We explored the frequency of auxotrophy among co-isolated natural Pseudomonas spp. We used a combination of in vitro and in silico approaches to assess the frequency of auxotrophy in communities and ....

Strain identity effects contribute more to Pseudomonas community functioning than strain interactions
Abstract. Microbial communities can shape key ecological services, but the determinants of their functioning often remain little understood. While traditio
