This project studies bacterial aggression and competition, focusing on the evolution of weaponry and combat tactics among bacteria. It aims to uncover the ecological factors influencing these behaviors using advanced experimental techniques and theoretical models.
Many bacteria are extremely aggressive.
They assemble poisoned molecular spears to stab neighbours, they release protein machines that punch holes in competitors and, moreover, some cells will commit suicide in order to launch their attack.
While there is a large literature on the evolution of combat and competition in animals, this has focused on why animals are generally reluctant to fight.
The evolution of extreme aggression in bacteria, therefore, challenges our current understanding of comp…
