This project investigates the evolutionary mechanisms behind multicellularity in Bacilli, focusing on how genetic changes influence colony morphology and adaptability. By analyzing the gene regulatory networks and environmental interactions, it aims to provide insights into the evolution of multicellular forms.
There are numerous evolutionary origins of multicellularity.
Yet, only in a few cases was the origin of multicellularity also followed by an enormous diversification of multicellular forms and functions.
This raises the question what determines the evolvability of multicellular phenotypes, i.e. their capacity to undergo evolutionary change? I will study the evolvability of one of the simplest forms of bacterial multicellularity: colony formation in the Bacilli.
Despite their simplicity, Bacilli…
