 h Velling\n Affiliation: \n Host:Prof. Roy Kishony \n Spatio-temporal micr
 obial evolution dynamics\n\n In natural microbial communities\, antagonis
 tic interactions among bacterial species\, or between bacteria and phages\
 , are important drivers of community evolution and ecological dynamics. Th
 ese natural environments often involve spatial structure\, which could be 
 a key factor for evolutionary processes as well as for expansion dynamics 
 into new spaces\, yet it is often neglected in microbial community experim
 entation and simulations. In this project\, we first studied evolution of 
 antibiotic producers in microdroplets\, effectively forming small\, distin
 ct environments where direct competition with resistant bacteria is exclud
 ed and\, therefore\, selection for producers can occur. In the second part
 \, we modeled bacteria-phage interactions in an expanding bacterial wave i
 n space. We show how phage-resistant bacteria can protect sensitive bacter
 ia through an indirect slowdown of phage migration in a competition scenar
 io and how phages could potentially overcome this protection mechanism. To
 gether\, these studies help shed light on the complex spatio-temporal dyna
 mics of antagonistically interacting microbial species.
