What are two examples of division of labor in bacterial colonies?

Solution

Ans. The division of labour is one feature of the most sophisticated biological systems, including genomes, multicellular organisms and societies, which took millions of years to evolve. Mutants emerge within bacterial colonies and work with the parent strain to gain new territory.

Example - the two strains self-organize in space:- one provides a wetting polymer at the colony edge, whereas the other sits behind and pushes them both along.
