The growth advantage in stationary-phase (GASP) phenomenon in mixed cultures of enterobacteria.

Abstract excerpt

Growth advantage in stationary phase (GASP) is the term used to describe the ability of mutants with an increased fitness from 10-day-old enterobacteria culture to out-compete 1-day-old cells of the same initial strain during a prolonged stationary phase, although the aged cells are introduced as a minority. We studied this bacterial trait in mixed cultures of two enterobacterial species, Escherichia coli and...
