Mutational meltdown of putative microbial altruists in Streptomyces coelicolor colonies
In Streptomyces coelicolor, a subpopulation of cells can arise that produce metabolically costly antibiotics and a division of labor that maximizes colony fitness. This study uses experimental evolution to understand the reproductive and genomic fate of these mutant cells, showing that the arising a...
