Microbial Co-op in Evolution
Eugene Russo | Oct 5, 2003 | 7 min read
Courtesy of Michiel Vos, Max Planck Institute, Tübingen, Germany  FRUIT FOR THE HUNGRY: Myxococcus fruiting bodies emerge from soil particles in response to starvation. Approximately 100,000 cells aggregate and communicate via chemical signals to form the bodies, and a portion of the population differentiates into stress-resistant spores. Most microbiologists consider used flasks, laden with splotches of colonizing bacteria, simply more dishes to wash. Paul Rainey sees more. For Rai
