Lost in Starvation: How the interplay between physiology and ecology impacts bacterial persistence in a patchy landscape
Heterotrophic marine bacteria navigate a heterogeneous landscape of resources. Bacterial populations cycle through periods of feasting when attached to nutrient particles and periods of famine when foraging between hotspots; thus, bacterial physiological states and ecological processes are intertwin...
