Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Bacterial Populations
Genetically uniform bacterial cells exhibit heterogeneity such as intrapopulation differences in metabolism as well as variation in growth rate. Additionally, phenotypic heterogeneity in more complex developmental processes where a portion of a population performs specialized functions has been described. Heterogeneity within populations of bacterial cells ensures that a small fraction of the p...
متن کاملPhenotypic plasticity in bacterial plasmids.
Plasmid pB15 was previously shown to evolve increased horizontal (infectious) transfer at the expense of reduced vertical (intergenerational) transfer and vice versa, a key trade-off assumed in theories of parasite virulence. Whereas the models predict that susceptible host abundance should determine which mode of transfer is selectively favored, host density failed to mediate the trade-off in ...
متن کاملRapid bacterial swimming measured in swarming cells of Thiovulum majus.
Swarming cells of the sulfide-oxidizing bacterium Thiovulum majus form bands and show bioconvective patterns of swimming when placed in vessels containing H2S/O2 interfaces. Measurements of swimming velocities with video microscopic recordings under such conditions showed mean cell speeds as high as 615 microns s-1, unprecedented in bacteria.
متن کاملrapid fluorometric quantification of bacterial cells using redsafe nucleic acid stain
background and objectives: numerous procedures in biology and medicine require the counting of cells. direct enumer- ation of colony forming units (cfus) is time-consuming and dreary accurate cell counting on plates with high numbers of cfus is error prone. in this study we report a new indirect cell counting method that was developed based on the use of redsafe fluorometric assay. the usefulne...
متن کاملPhenotypic Landscape of a Bacterial Cell
The explosion of sequence information in bacteria makes developing high-throughput, cost-effective approaches to matching genes with phenotypes imperative. Using E. coli as proof of principle, we show that combining large-scale chemical genomics with quantitative fitness measurements provides a high-quality data set rich in discovery. Probing growth profiles of a mutant library in hundreds of c...
