Phenotypic plasticity and effects of selection on cell division symmetry in Escherichia coli.

PloS one - 10 Jan 2011

Lele Uttara N, Baig Ulfat I, Watve Milind G

Abstract excerpt

Aging has been demonstrated in unicellular organisms and is presumably due to asymmetric distribution of damaged proteins and other components during cell division. Whether the asymmetry-induced aging is inevitable or an adaptive and adaptable response is debated. Although asymmetric division leads to aging and death of some cells, it increases the effective growth rate of the population as shown by theoretical...
