Biophysical Constraints Dictate the Stability of Social Traits in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Aggregates

2026-03-18

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of cooperative behaviors within microbial populations remains an evolutionary puzzle, particularly in spatially structured environments like those found in chronic infection. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa , quorum sensing (QS) directs the production of costly public goods that are vulnerable to exploitation by non-producing cheaters. However, the biophysical mechanisms that stabilize this cooperation...
