New on the arxiv: “Graphs are maximally expressive for higher-order interactions” arxiv.org/abs/2602.16937 We clarify central misconceptions in the recent literature on "higher-order networks". w/ @piratepeel.bsky.social , @manlius.bsky.social, and @thilogross.bsky.social Explainer 🧵: 1/N

Graphs are maximally expressive for higher-order interactions

We demonstrate that graph-based models are fully capable of representing higher-order interactions, and have a long history of being used for precisely this purpose. This stands in contrast to a commo...

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...

Which Kind of Science Reform

What hope is there for science reform, if we can't agree on what to reform? Right now, principles are more important than practices.

Just a clarification: I meant extracellular degradation of polysaccharides, not specifically of eps. Sorry about that.

We reveal how substrate concentration and complexity shape microbial growth and interactions. We also find data to support our model: we performed a systematic literature search, which shows that generalists (producing both enzymes) dominate among chitin-degrading microbes. 5/6

Ksenia Guseva @kseniaguseva.bsky.social · 07/09/2024

Finally, we explored whether microbes can divide labor in the production of these two enzymes within consortia. Our analysis paints a fascinating picture: interactions between endo- and exo-enzyme producers can flip from positive to negative depending on substrate levels! 4/6

Ksenia Guseva @kseniaguseva.bsky.social · 07/09/2024

We have found that producers: 1. Of exo-enzymes thrive when many polymer chains are around. 2. Of endo-enzymes unexpectedly excel only when fewer chains are present. 3. Of both enzymes together expand their niche and may benefit from enzyme synergy. 3/6

Ksenia Guseva @kseniaguseva.bsky.social · 07/09/2024

We mainly focus on two enzyme types: 1. “Exo”-enzymes snip small units from the ends of polymer chains. 2. “Endo”-enzymes break polymers at random, creating varied-sized fragments. Using a theoretical model, we simulated polymer degradation and microbial growth. 2/6

Excited to share our latest paper in PLOSCompBiol @plos.bsky.social ! journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... Our study dives into the comparison of possible extracellular polysaccharide degradation strategies and their impact on microbial growth and community dynamics. 1/6 #Microbialecology
