Behavioral Variability and Phenotypic Diversity in Bacterial Chemotaxis.

Annual review of biophysics - 20 May 2018

Waite Adam James, Frankel Nicholas W, Emonet Thierry

Abstract excerpt

Living cells detect and process external signals using signaling pathways that are affected by random fluctuations. These variations cause the behavior of individual cells to fluctuate over time (behavioral variability) and generate phenotypic differences between genetically identical individuals (phenotypic diversity). These two noise sources reduce our ability to predict biological behavior because they...
