Experimental evolution of multicellularity
TLDR
Experimental evolution shows that key aspects of multicellular complexity, a subject of central importance to biology, can readily evolve from unicellular eukaryotes.
Sucrose utilization in budding yeast as a model for the origin of undifferentiated multicellularity.
TLDR
It is proposed that the prior use of public goods led to selection for the incomplete cell separation that first produced multicellularity.
Phagotrophy by a flagellate selects for colonial prey: A possible origin of multicellularity
TLDR
Self-replicating, stable colonies of Chlorella vulgaris that retained the eight-celled form indefinitely in continuous culture and when plated onto agar were virtually immune to predation by the flagellate.
