Inherited chitinases enable sustained growth and rapid dispersal of bacteria from chitin particles - Nature Microbiology

Many biogeochemical functions involve bacteria utilizing solid substrates. However, little is known about the coordination of bacterial growth with the kinetics of attachment to and detachment from such substrates. In this quantitative study of Vibrio sp. 1A01 growing on chitin particles, we reveal the heterogeneous nature of the exponentially growing culture comprising two co-existing subpopulations: a minority replicating on chitin particles and a non-replicating majority which was planktonic.
