Bacteria join ranks of lazy cheaters
09-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study has discovered that one type of bacteria has mutants that shut down certain communication systems so they don't have to share the communal burden of obtaining nutrients. This "cheating" mechanism forces other bacteria do all the work while the lazy bacteria save their energy, grow faster and out-compete other cells. The findings could suggest new concepts for antibiotic development.
