A new study authored by researchers from Rice University’s Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (CTBP) at Houston in collaboration with colleagues from Tel Aviv University and Harvard Medical School, published in the latest edition of the journal Scientific Reports, shows how sophisticated genetic circuits allow an individual bacterium within a colony to act on its own while also ensuring that the colony functions cooperatively and in the common interest in times of stress.
