Genetic architecture constrains exploitation of siderophore cooperation in the bacterium Burkholderia cenocepacia
Abstract Explaining how cooperation can persist in the presence of cheaters, exploiting the cooperative acts, is a challenge for evolutionary biology. Microbial systems have proved extremely useful to test evolutionary theory and identify mechanisms maintaining cooperation. One of the most widely st...
