Chimaeric load among sympatric social bacteria increases with genotype richness.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jul 2014

Mendes-Soares Helena, Chen I-Chen Kimberly, Fitzpatrick Kara, Velicer Gregory J

Abstract excerpt

The total productivity of social groups can be determined by interactions among their constituents. Chimaeric load--the reduction of group productivity caused by antagonistic within-group heterogeneity--may be common in heterogeneous microbial groups due to dysfunctional behavioural interactions between distinct individuals. However, some instances of chimaerism in social microbes can increase group productivity,...
