Endemic social diversity within natural kin groups of a cooperative bacterium.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 28 Jun 2011

Kraemer Susanne A, Velicer Gregory J

Abstract excerpt

The spatial structure of genetic diversity underlying social variation is a critical determinant of how cooperation and conflict evolve. Here we investigated whether natural social groups of the cooperative soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus harbor internal genetic and phenotypic variation and thus the potential for social conflict between interacting cells. Ten M. xanthus fruiting bodies isolated from soil were...
