Cellular Heterogeneity: Benefits Besides Bet-Hedging.

Current biology : CB - 9 May 2016

Levy Sasha F

Abstract excerpt

Growth heterogeneity within microbial populations has been thought to increase fitness by allowing some cells to survive an unpredictable change to a harsh environment. A new study demonstrates that heterogeneity can increase fitness even in the absence of environmental changes.
