At what cost? The impact of bacteriophage resistance on the growth kinetics and protein synthesis of Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

Cost of bacteriophage resistance (COR) is important in explaining processes of diversification and coexistence in microbial communities. COR can be expressed in different traits, and the lack of universally applicable methods to measure fitness trade-offs makes COR challenging to study. Due to its fundamental role in growth, we explored protein synthesis as a target for quantifying COR. In this study, the growth...
