Conditions for Darwinian evolution in compartmentalized autocatalytic reaction networks
Yoshiya J. Matsubara, Sandeep Ameta, Shashi Thutupalli +2
The first forms of life likely consisted of protocells endowed with metabolism, growth, and division. Such systems may have evolved due to variation and heredity in their chemical…
A self-driven phase transition drives Myxococcus xanthus fruiting body formation
Guannan Liu, Adam Patch, Fatmagul Bahar +5
Combining high-resolution single cell tracking experiments with numerical simulations, we show that starvation-induced fruiting body (FB) formation in Myxococcus xanthus is a phase…
Phase transitions during fruiting body formation in Myxococcus xanthus
Shashi Thutupalli, Mingzhai Sun, Filiz Bunyak +2
The formation of a collectively moving group benefits individuals within a population in a variety of ways such as ultra-sensitivity to perturbation, collective modes of feeding, a…
