  • In the face of fluctuating environmental conditions, bet hedging — stochastic switching between phenotypes — can be an advantageous strategy. But how does bet hedging evolve? The de novo evolution of bet hedging in experimental bacterial populations subjected to an environment that continually favoured new phenotypic states is now reported. The findings suggest that risk-spreading strategies may have been among the earliest evolutionary solutions to life in fluctuating environments.

  • The ecological process of immigration into communities and the evolutionary process of diversification within communities are both important determinants of biological diversity. Use of model bacterial populations shows that the two processes are linked such that small differences in immigration history can greatly affect the extent of subsequent diversification.

  • Cable bacteria’ form long multicellular filaments that can transfer electrical currents over centimetre-long distances. Here, Meysman et al. show that the electrical currents run along highly conductive fibres embedded in the cell envelope, and charge transfer is electronic rather than ionic.

  • Many phages use tails to attach to and penetrate the cell envelope of their bacterial hosts. In this Review, Brouns and colleagues explore recent structural and mechanistic insights into the interaction of phage tails with receptors on the bacterial surface.
