Phenotypic plasticity of a cooperative behaviour in bacteria.
There is strong evidence that natural selection can favour phenotypic plasticity as a mechanism to maximize fitness in animals. Here, we aim to investigate phenotypic plasticity of a cooperative trait in bacteria--the production of an iron-scavenging molecule (pyoverdin) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P...
