Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Members of swarming bacterial consortia compete for nutrients but also use a co-operation mechanism called quorum sensing (QS) that relies on chemical signals as well as other secreted products ("public goods") necessary for swarming. Deleting various genes of this machinery leads to cheater mutants impaired in various aspects of swarming cooperation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Pairwise consortia...
