Bacillus subtilis Protects Public Goods by Extending Kin Discrimination to Closely Related Species.

mBio - 5 Jul 2017

Lyons Nicholas A, Kolter Roberto

Abstract excerpt

Kin discrimination systems are found in numerous communal contexts like multicellularity and are theorized to prevent exploitation of cooperative behaviors. The kin discrimination system in Bacillus subtilis differs from most other such systems because it excludes nonkin cells rather than including kin cells. Because nonkin are the target of the system, B. subtilis can potentially distinguish degrees of nonkin...
