The hallmarks of a tradeoff in transcriptomes that balances stress and growth functions.

Abstract excerpt

Fast growth phenotypes are achieved through optimal transcriptomic allocation, in which cells must balance tradeoffs in resource allocation between diverse functions. One such balance between stress readiness and unbridled growth in E. coli has been termed the fear versus greed (f/g) tradeoff. Two specific RNA polymerase (RNAP) mutations observed in adaptation to fast growth have been previously shown to affect...
