  • The stability of newly emerged collective-level traits during an evolutionary transition in individuality under the ecological-scaffolding scenario is not fully explained. Here, the authors use a stochastic meta-population model and adaptive dynamics to show that evolutionary hysteresis supports this stability.

  • Simple cooperating groups of bacteria reproduced either by embracing or purging cheating types; those that embraced cheats adopted a life cycle of alternating phenotypic states, underpinned by a developmental switch that allowed the fitness of collectives to decouple from the fitness of constituent cells.

  • High salinities are thought to inhibit nitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria in coastal waters. In contrast, Tang et al. show that nitrogen fixation in a coastal cyanobacterium requires sodium ions and is apparently driven by sodium energetics and mixed-acid fermentation.

  • Bet hedging is an evolutionary strategy facilitating survival in randomly fluctuating environments. Here, the authors report bet hedging in the unicellular microalga Haematococcus pluvialis, undergoing reversible diversification into mobile and non-mobile cells.

  • Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common cause of lower respiratory tract infection. Here, Klabunde et al. present a transcriptomic, metabolomic and proteomic characterisation of the bronchial epithelial cell response to infection and show that NAD+ has a role in controlling bacterial replication.
