Emergent multicellular life cycles in filamentous bacteria owing to density-dependent population dynamics

Filamentous bacteria are the oldest and simplest known multicellular life forms. By using computer simulations and experiments that address cell division in a filamentous context, we investigate some of the ecological factors that can lead to the emergence of a multicellular life cycle in filamentou...
