Abstract

Microbes thrive in diverse porous environments-from soil and riverbeds to human lungs and cancer tissues-spanning multiple scales and conditions. Short- to long-term fluctuations in local factors induce spatio-temporal heterogeneities, often leading to physiologically stressful settings. How microbes respond and adapt to such biophysical constraints is an active field of research where considerable insight has been gained over the last decades. With a focus on bacteria, here we review recent advances in self-organization and dispersal in inorganic and organic porous settings, highlighting the role of active interactions and feedback that mediates microbial survival and fitness. We discuss open questions and opportunities for using integrative approaches to advance our understanding of the biophysical strategies which microbes employ at various scales to make porous settings habitable.

多孔环境中的微生物:从主动互动到突发反馈。
从土壤和河床到人类肺部和癌症组织,微生物在跨越多种尺度和条件的各种多孔环境中茁壮成长。当地因素的短期到长期波动会引起时空异质性,通常会导致生理上的压力环境。微生物如何应对和适应这种生物物理限制是一个活跃的研究领域,在过去的几十年里,人们已经对此有了相当深入的了解。在此,我们以细菌为重点,回顾了在无机和有机多孔环境中自组织和扩散方面的最新进展,强调了介导微生物生存和适应性的主动相互作用和反馈的作用。我们讨论了一些开放性问题和使用综合方法的机会,以加深我们对微生物在不同尺度上采用生物物理策略使多孔环境适宜居住的理解。

期刊介绍: Biophysical Reviews aims to publish critical and timely reviews from key figures in the field of biophysics. The bulk of the reviews that are currently published are from invited authors, but the journal is also open for non-solicited reviews. Interested authors are encouraged to discuss the possibility of contributing a review with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission. Through publishing reviews on biophysics, the editors of the journal hope to illustrate the great power and potential of physical techniques in the biological sciences, they aim to stimulate the discussion and promote further research and would like to educate and enthuse basic researcher scientists and students of biophysics. Biophysical Reviews covers the entire field of biophysics, generally defined as the science of describing and defining biological phenomenon using the concepts and the techniques of physics. This includes but is not limited by such areas as: - Bioinformatics - Biophysical methods and instrumentation - Medical biophysics - Biosystems - Cell biophysics and organization - Macromolecules: dynamics, structures and interactions - Single molecule biophysics - Membrane biophysics, channels and transportation
