Competition sensing alters antibiotic production in Streptomyces

S. Westhoff, A. Kloosterman, S. F. A. van Hoesel, G. P. van Wezel, D. E. Rozen

This study shows that Streptomyces produce antibiotics more when competing with closely related strains or those sharing biosynthetic pathways, but not when threatened by toxins, and often reduce production under resource limitation.

Spatial structure increases the benefits of antibiotic production in Streptomyces griseus

S. Westhoff, S. B. Otto, A. Swinkels, B. Bode, G. P. van Wezel, D. E. Rozen

This study shows that spatial structure enhances the fitness benefits of streptomycin production in S. griseus by reducing invasion thresholds and enabling competition against susceptible strains.
