Phenotypic plasticity in bacterial plasmids.

Genetics - 1 May 2004

Turner Paul E

Abstract excerpt

Plasmid pB15 was previously shown to evolve increased horizontal (infectious) transfer at the expense of reduced vertical (intergenerational) transfer and vice versa, a key trade-off assumed in theories of parasite virulence. Whereas the models predict that susceptible host abundance should deter...
