Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic heterogeneity is a phenomenon in which genetically identical individuals have different characteristics. This behavior can also be found in bacteria, even if they grow as monospecies in well-mixed environments such as bioreactors. Here it is discussed how phenotypic heterogeneity is generated by internal factors and how it is promoted under nutrient-limited growth conditions. A better understanding of...
