Evolutionary explanations for heterogeneous behavior in clonal bacterial populations.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Jul 2023

Kümmerli Rolf, Frank Steven A

Abstract excerpt

Cellular heterogeneity in clonal bacterial populations is widespread. Division of labor and bet hedging are common adaptive explanations for the function of such heterogeneity. We suggest group-level phenotypes via shareable molecules and variation in cellular vigor as two alternative evolutionary explanations for bacterial cellular heterogeneity.
