Population Dynamics of Bacterial Persistence
Persistence is a prime example of phenotypic heterogeneity, where a microbial population splits into two distinct subpopulations with different growth and survival properties as a result of reversible phenotype switching. Specifically, persister cells grow more slowly than normal cells under unstressed growth conditions, but survive longer under stress conditions such as the treatment with bact...
متن کاملChromosomal relocation of prophage-associated bacterial genes.
Taylor, M. W. (Stanford University, Stanford, Calif.), and C. Yanofsky. Chromosomal relocation of prophage-associated bacterial genes. J. Bacteriol. 91:1469-1476. 1966.-Two distinguishable colony types, rough-edged and smooth-edged, were observed when tryptophan auxotrophs of Escherichia coli were transformed to tryptophan independence with DNA from the hybrid nondefective transducing phage i(l...
متن کاملMicrobial Biotechnology from medicine to bacterial population dynamics
In recent issues of Microbial Biotechnology there have been several exceptional articles ranging in topic from the antagonism of biofilm formation in pathogenic bacteria, and prebiotic selection of positive bacterial fermentations in the colon to the discovery of novel biotechnologically important enzymes encoded by bacteria of the deep-sea floor. In January there appeared two stimulating artic...
متن کاملApplicability of the Fisher equation to bacterial population dynamics.
The applicability of the Fisher equation, which combines diffusion with logistic nonlinearity, to population dynamics of bacterial colonies is studied with the help of explicit analytic solutions for the spatial distribution of a stationary bacterial population under a static mask. The mask protects bacteria from ultraviolet light. The solution, which is in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions,...
متن کاملBacterial population dynamics in a meromictic lake.
Polyclonal antibodies against nine different bacteria isolated from Lake Saelenvannet in western Norway were produced, and the population dynamics of these strains in the lake were monitored through two spring seasons by immunofluorescence staining. The total counts of bacteria varied over time and space from 1.5 x 10(6) to 1.5 x 10(7) cells ml-1. The counts of specific bacteria were in the ran...
