The Ecology and Evolution of Microbial Competition.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Oct 2016

Ghoul Melanie, Mitri Sara

Abstract excerpt

Microbes are typically surrounded by different strains and species with whom they compete for scarce nutrients and limited space. Given such challenging living conditions, microbes have evolved many phenotypes with which they can outcompete and displace their neighbours: secretions to harvest resources, loss of costly genes whose products can be obtained from others, stabbing and poisoning neighbouring cells, or...
