Lay summary Melioidosis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, which can be acquired from the environment through contact with soil or water. However, no previous studies established a statistically significant relationship between B. pseudomallei in the local environment and melioidosis cases, mostly because of low abundance of the bacterium and inconsistent sampling methods.

Lay summary Biological rhythms are essential to controlling the function of living organisms. One such example is the metabolic cycle in budding yeast, which consists of cycling levels of metabolites, RNA transcripts, and oxygen consumption over time. Most studies on this cycle have been performed with chemostats, in batch-cultures. Though there are more recent studies that image cells individually, it is unclear how to reconcile finding from the two types of experiments.
