In order to investigate the contribution of the physical environment to variation in multicellular development of <i>Myxococcus xanthus</i>, phenotypes developed by different genotypes in a gradient of substrate stiffness conditions were quantitatively characterized. Statistical analysis showed that plastic phenotypes result from the genotype, the substrate conditions and the interaction between them. Also, phenotypes were expressed in two distinguishable scales, the individual and the populatio ...[more]
