Memory shapes microbial populations.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Oct 2021

Gokhale Chaitanya S, Giaimo Stefano, Remigi Philippe

Abstract excerpt

Correct decision making is fundamental for all living organisms to thrive under environmental changes. The patterns of environmental variation and the quality of available information define the most favourable strategy among multiple options, from randomly adopting a phenotypic state to sensing and reacting to environmental cues. Cellular memory-the ability to track and condition the time to switch to a...
