Lethal Consequences of Overcoming Metabolic Restrictions Imposed on a Cooperative Bacterial Population
Quorum sensing (QS) controls cooperative activities in many Proteobacteria. In some species, QS-dependent specific metabolism contributes to the stability of the cooperation. However, the mechanism by which QS and metabolic networks have coevolved to support stable public good cooperation and mainte...
