A passive mutualistic interaction promotes the evolution of spatial structure within microbial populations.

BMC evolutionary biology - 24 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: While mutualistic interactions between different genotypes are pervasive in nature, their evolutionary origin is not clear. The dilemma is that, for mutualistic interactions to emerge and persist, an investment into the partner genotype must pay off: individuals of a first genotype that invest resources to promote the growth of a second genotype must receive a benefit that is not equally accessible to...
