Conditionally unutilized proteins and their profound effects on growth and adaptation across microbial species

Rohan Balakrishnan, Jonas Cremer

Protein synthesis is an important determinant of microbial growth and response that demands a high amount of metabolic and biosynthetic resources. Despite these costs, microbial sp…

A Traveling-Wave Solution for Bacterial Chemotaxis with Growth

Avaneesh V. Narla, Jonas Cremer, Terry Hwa

Bacterial cells navigate around their environment by directing their movement along chemical gradients. This process, known as chemotaxis, can promote the rapid expansion of bacter…

Cooperation in Microbial Populations: Theory and Experimental Model Systems

J. Cremer, A. Melbinger, K. Wienand +3

Cooperative behavior, the costly provision of benefits to others, is common across all domains of life. This review article discusses cooperative behavior in the microbial world, m…

The Emergence of Cooperation from a Single Mutant during Microbial Life-Cycles

Anna Melbinger, Jonas Cremer, Erwin Frey

Cooperative behavior is widespread in nature, even though cooperating individuals always run the risk to be exploited by free-riders. Population structure effectively promotes coop…

Mobility, fitness collection, and the breakdown of cooperation

Anatolij Gelimson, Jonas Cremer, Erwin Frey

The spatial arrangement of individuals is thought to overcome the dilemma of cooperation: When cooperators engage in clusters they might share the benefit of cooperation while bein…

Growth dynamics and the evolution of cooperation in microbial populations

Jonas Cremer, Anna Melbinger, Erwin Frey

Microbes providing public goods are widespread in nature despite running the risk of being exploited by free-riders. However, the precise ecological factors supporting cooperation…
