Spiteful Interactions in a natural population of the bacterium Xenorhabdus bovienii.

The American naturalist - 1 Mar 2010

Hawlena Hadas, Bashey Farrah, Mendes-Soares Helena, Lively Curtis M

Abstract excerpt

An individual behaves spitefully when it harms itself in the act of harming other individuals. One of the clearest potential examples of spite is the costly production and release of toxins called bacteriocins. Bacteriocins are toxins produced by bacteria that can kill closely related strains of the same species. Theoretical work has predicted that bacteriocin-mediated interactions could play an important role in...
