What is Altruism in Biofilms and Evolutionary Trade-offs about?

This document discusses how spatial structure in biofilms can promote the evolution and maintenance of altruism among bacteria. It presents a theoretical model where bacteria can choose between a high growth rate strategy or a high growth yield (more efficient use of resources) strategy. The high yield strategy is considered altruistic as it benefits the group but reduces the growth of individual bacteria. Spatial structure in biofilms helps altruism evolve by keeping altruistic and non-altruistic bacteria
