Colicin diversity: a result of eco-evolutionary dynamics.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Jan 1999

Pagie L, Hogeweg P

Abstract excerpt

Colicins are plasmids that are carried in Escherichia coli. They code for a toxic protein and for proteins that confer on the host immunity against this toxin. When bacteria carry plasmids their growth rate is reduced. At the same time, the production of toxins makes it possible for colicinogenic bacteria to invade bacterium strains that are not immune. In natural bacterium populations there is a high diversity...
