Recovering from a bad start: rapid adaptation and tradeoffs to growth below a threshold density.

BMC evolutionary biology - 4 Jul 2012

Marx Christopher J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bacterial growth in well-mixed culture is often assumed to be an autonomous process only depending upon the external conditions under control of the investigator. However, increasingly there is awareness that interactions between cells in culture can lead to surprising phenomena such as density-dependence in the initiation of growth. RESULTS: Here I report the unexpected discovery of a density...
