Enhancing bacterial survival through phenotypic heterogeneity

Variations in the number of nucleotides within an SSR in a coding sequence may cause a frameshift mutation that creates a premature stop codon and a truncated product (OFF) or, conversely, may restore the reading frame and production of the gene product (ON). [...]phase variation can be achieved by...
