		<description><![CDATA[For some microbes, the motto for growth is not so much “every cell for itself,” but rather, “all for one and one for all.” MIT researchers have found that cells in a bacterial colony grow in a way that benefits the community as a whole. That is, while an individual cell may divide in the &#8230; <a href="https://darwinproject.mit.edu/for-the-good-of-the-colony/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">For the Good of the Colony</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Population growth rate is a fundamental ecological and evolutionary characteristic of living organisms, but individuals must balance the metabolism devoted to biosynthesis and reproduction against the maintenance of existing structure and other functionality. Chris Kempes, Stephanie Dutkiewicz and Mick Follows have developed a mathematical model relating metabolic partitioning to the form of growth. The research is &#8230; <a href="https://darwinproject.mit.edu/microbe-metabolism/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Microbe Metabolism</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
