Phenotypic heterogeneity follows a growth-viability tradeoff in response to amino acid identity.

Abstract excerpt

In their natural environments, microorganisms mainly operate at suboptimal growth conditions with fluctuations in nutrient abundance. The resulting cellular adaptation is subject to conflicting tasks: growth or survival maximisation. Here, we study this adaptation by systematically measuring the impact of a nitrogen downshift to 24 nitrogen sources on cellular metabolism at the single-cell level. Saccharomyces...
