The cost and benefit of quorum sensing‐controlled bacteriocin production in Lactobacillus plantarum
Bacteria eliminate competitors via ‘chemical warfare’ with bacteriocins. Some species appear to adjust bacteriocin production conditionally in response to the social environment. We tested whether variation in the cost and benefit of producing bacteriocins could explain such conditional behaviour, i...
