Bacteria can engage in multicellular behaviour via a process called quorum sensing (QS), whereby bacteria monitor population density through the secretion of small, diffusible signal molecules. However, the evolutionary forces that maintain QS have rarely been investigated in na…

Individual cells in a genetically identical population, exposed to the same environment, can show great variation in their protein expression levels. This is due to noise, which is inherent in many biological processes, due in part to the low molecule numbers and probabilistic i…
