A competitive trade-off limits the selective advantage of increased antibiotic production

In structured environments, antibiotic producing microorganisms can gain a selective advantage by inhibiting nearby competing species(1). However, despite their genetic potential(2,3), natural isolates often make only small amounts of antibiotics, and laboratory evolution can lead to loss rather tha...
