Memory and fitness optimization of bacteria under fluctuating environments.

PLoS genetics - 1 Sept 2014

Lambert Guillaume, Kussell Edo, Kussel Edo

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria prudently regulate their metabolic phenotypes by sensing the availability of specific nutrients, expressing the required genes for their metabolism, and repressing them after specific metabolites are depleted. It is unclear, however, how genetic networks maintain and transmit phenotypic states between generations under rapidly fluctuating environments. By subjecting bacteria to fluctuating carbon sources...
