No apparent costs for facultative antibiotic production by the soil bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1.

No apparent costs for facultative antibiotic production by the soil bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1.

<h4>Background</h4>Many soil-inhabiting bacteria are known to produce secondary metabolites that can suppress microorganisms competing for the same resources. The production of antimicrobial compounds is expected to incur fitness costs for the producing bacteria. Such costs form the basi...
