説明
<jats:title>Maximizing growth by sharing</jats:title> <jats:p> Bacterial colonies can undergo synchronized oscillations of cell growth, in which individual cells communicate through potassium ion-mediated electrical signals. Liu <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> found that such communication can also occur between adjacent colonies (see the Perspective by Gordon). Furthermore, colonies that would normally oscillate in synchrony adapted to an environment in which the nutrient supply was limited by growing out of phase with one another. Mathematical modeling and further experiments showed that this kept the colonies from having to compete for the limited nutrient and, counterintuitively, allowed the colonies to grow more quickly than they did with a higher nutrient concentration. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6338" page="638" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="356" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aah4204">638</jats:related-article> ; see also p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6338" page="583" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="356" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aan3886">583</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
