Bacterial senescence
text:
Bacterial senescence or bacterial aging refers to the gradual decrease in cellular function in individual bacteria as they increase in age. Indicators of senescence include a decelerated division rate and an increase likelihood of death. The fundamental cause of aging in bacteria is thought to be the accumulation of deleterious components. Asymmetrically dividing bacteria, such as Caulobacter crescentus, show signs of replicative aging. The results for symmetrically dividing bacteria are more nu
