Nongenetic individuality, changeability, and inheritance in bacterial behavior.

Abstract excerpt

Isogenic populations often display remarkable levels of phenotypic diversity even in constant, homogeneous environments. Such diversity results from differences between individuals ("nongenetic individuality") as well as changes during individuals' lifetimes ("changeability"). Yet, studies that capture and quantify both sources of diversity are scarce. Here we measure the swimming behavior of hundreds of...
