Effects of stochasticity and division of labor in toxin production on two-strain bacterial competition in Escherichia coli.

In phenotypically heterogeneous microbial populations, the decision to adopt one or another phenotype is often stochastically regulated. However, how this stochasticity affects interactions between competing microbes in mixed communities is difficult to assess. One example of such an interaction sys...
