  • Analysis of Mutations Affecting Cooperation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Populations

    Creator:
    Robinson, Tanner M.
    Abstract:
    In a process called quorum sensing (QS), the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses small diffusible signals to coordinate cooperative behaviors via secreted “public goods”. Under QS-dependent growth conditions, social cheaters arise with mutations in lasR, the gene for the primary QS signal receptor. These cheaters do not produce public goods....
