Trade-off Mechanisms Shaping the Diversity of Bacteria.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Mar 2016

Ferenci Thomas

Abstract excerpt

Strain-to-strain variations in bacterial biofilm formation, metabolism, motility, virulence, evolvability, DNA repair and resistance (to phage, antibiotics, or environmental stresses) each contribute to bacterial diversity. Microbiologists should be aware that all of these traits are subject to constraints imposed by trade-offs, so adaptations improving one trait may be at the cost of another. A deeper...
