Diauxie and co-utilization of carbon sources can coexist during bacterial growth in nutritionally complex environments
It is thought that when multiple carbon sources are available, bacteria metabolize them either sequentially or simultaneously. Here, the authors show that a marine bacterium can use a mixed strategy when multiple possible nutrients are provided, and analyse the metabolic pathways involved.
