Space and genealogy determine inter-individual differences in siderophore gene expression in bacterial colonies

Summary: Heterogeneity in gene expression is common among clonal cells in bacteria, although the sources and functions of variation often remain unknown. Here, we track cellular heterogeneity in the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa during colony growth by focusing on siderophore gene expression (pyo...
