The social evolution of siderophore production in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> is environmentally determined

2016-12-19

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria secrete various exoproducts whose benefits can be shared by all cells in the vicinity. The potential importance of these “public goods” in bacterial evolutionary ecology has been extensively studied. Cheating by siderophore-null mutants of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has received particular attention. The potential of siderophore mutants to attenuate virulence, and the possibility o...
