DNA rearrangements and phenotypic switching in prokaryotes.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 1993

Dybvig K

Abstract excerpt

Microorganisms have numerous strategies for coping with environmental changes. In many systems, a single cell has the capacity to generate a seemingly infinite array of phenotypic variants in just a few generations of growth. The resulting heterogeneous population is well equipped for sudden environmental change; even if only a few cells in the population possess a phenotype needed for survival, these cells have...
