\textit{Oh, an empty article!} A recent article in Nature Communications \cite{Benomar_2015} is extremely informative. Like many good studies, it takes assumed fixtures or mainstays of a field (in this case microbiology), flips them in some way, and arrives at novel observations and conclusions.  You can get started by \textbf{double clicking} this text block and begin editing.

These studies have contributed  to add new block elements. Or you can \textbf{drag understanding and characterizing their metabolism.

Happy writing! advanced society that drives key biogeochemical cycles.  \end{quote}  Briefly, the authors showed co-cultured bacteria (i.e. two different species from the same environment were grown together) formed direct connections to allow for the harnessing of one species's unique metabolic chemistry when the other's could not effectively cope with the tested starvation conditions.
