Individual- versus group-optimality in the production of secreted bacterial compounds

K. Schiessl, A. Ross-Gillespie, D. M. Cornforth, M. Weigert, C. Bigosch, S. P. Brown, M. Ackermann, R. Kummerli

The paper shows that for shared compounds with saturating benefits, division of labor evolves when production costs diminish with higher output, as demonstrated through mathematical modeling and experimental testing with pyoverdine.

Transposable temperate phages promote the evolution of divergent social strategies in Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations

S. O'Brien, R. Kummerli, S. Paterson, C. Winstanley, M. A. Brockhurst

This study shows transposable phages drive divergence in social strategies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by promoting extreme siderophore production phenotypes in iron-limited environments.

Genetic architecture constrains exploitation of siderophore cooperation in Burkholderia cenocepacia

S. Sathe, A. Mathew, K. Agnoli, L. Eberl, R. Kummerli

This study shows that genetic linkage prevents cheating in siderophore cooperation in Burkholderia cenocepacia by linking synthesis and receptor genes, and demonstrates that breaking this linkage allows cheaters to exploit the public good.

Division of labor during biofilm matrix production

A. Dragos, H. T. Kiesewalter, M. Martin, C.-Y. Hsu, R. Hartmann, T. Wechsler, C. Eriksen, S. Brix Pedersen, K. Drescher, N. Stanley-Wall, R. Kummerli, A. T. Kovacs

This study shows that genetic division of labor in Bacillus subtilis enhances biofilm productivity by allowing specialized mutants to exchange matrix components, outperforming phenotypic specialization.
