Some bacteria, such as Rickettsia prowazekii, grow slowly, not with anticipation of a future feast, but because it is evolutionarily advantageous to do so. This creates apparent paradoxes for understanding their physiology and biochemistry. These rickettsiae have a ribosome concentration higher than expected if these ribosomes support translation at rates comparable to those in Escherichia coli.
一些细菌，如普氏立克次体，生长缓慢，并非期待未来的盛宴，而是因为这样做在进化上具有优势。这在理解它们的生理学和生物化学方面产生了明显的矛盾。如果这些核糖体以与大肠杆菌中相当的速率支持翻译，那么这些立克次体的核糖体浓度高于预期。
