Competition by allelopathy proceeds in traveling waves: colicin-immune strain aids colicin-sensitive strain.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Mar 2000

Nakamaru M, Iwasa Y

Abstract excerpt

Producing toxic chemicals to suppress both the growth and survivorship of local competitors is called allelopathy; some strains of the bacteria Escherichia coli produce a toxin (named colicin) which may kill colicin-sensitive neighbors while they themselves are immune. In a previous paper, the competitive outcome between colicin-producing and colicin-sensitive strains was shown to differ between a spatially...
