Mutant lineages may cause cancer-like overgrowths in microbial populations. Theory predicts that microbial regulatory controls may be designed to limit the origin and competitive potential of rogue lineages. A new study shows how a Salmonella species protects itself against overgrowths.
突变谱系可能导致微生物种群中类似癌症的过度生长。理论预测，微生物的调控控制机制可能旨在限制流氓谱系的起源和竞争潜力。一项新的研究展示了一种沙门氏菌如何保护自己免受过度生长的影响。
