Dynamics of phenotypic switching of bacterial cells with temporal fluctuations in pressure.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic switching is one of the mechanisms by which bacteria thrive in ever changing environmental conditions around them. Earlier studies have shown that the application of steady high hydrostatic pressure leads to stochastic switching of mesophilic bacteria from a cellular phenotype having a normal cell cycle to another phenotype lacking cell division. Here, we have studied the dynamics of this phenotypic...
