The evolutionary path to terminal differentiation and division of labor in cyanobacteria.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

A common trait often associated with multicellularity is cellular differentiation, which is a spatial separation of tasks through the division of labor. In principle, the division of labor does not necessarily have to be constrained to a multicellular setting. In this study, we focus on the possible evolutionary paths leading to terminal differentiation in cyanobacteria. We develop mathematical models for two...
