Toxin production spontaneously becomes regulated by local cell density in evolving bacterial populations
The production of anticompetitor toxins is widespread among bacteria. Because production of such toxins is costly, it is typically regulated. In particular, many toxins are produced only when the local cell density is high. It is unclear which selection pressures shaped the evolution of density-depe...
