Rapid evolutionary tuning of endospore quantity versus quality trade-off via a phase-variable contingency locus

The UV resistance of bacterial endospores is an important quality supporting their survival in inhospitable environments and therefore constitutes an essential driver of the ecological success of spore-forming bacteria. Nevertheless, the variability and evolvability of this trait are poorly understo...
