Exopolysaccharide production in Caulobacter crescentus: A resource allocation trade-off between protection and proliferation
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is shown that in Caulobacter crescentus, presence of an exopolysaccharide capsule provides measurable protection against infection from a lytic paracrystalline S-layer bacteriophage (CR30), but at a metabolic cost that reduces success in a phage-free environment.
