A single mutation in rapP induces cheating to prevent cheating in Bacillus subtilis by minimizing public good production

Cooperation is beneficial to group behaviors like multicellularity, but is vulnerable to exploitation by cheaters. Here we analyze mechanisms that protect against exploitation of extracellular surfactin in swarms of Bacillus subtilis. Unexpectedly, the reference strain NCIB 3610 displays inherent re...
