Synopsis
Explore how heredity works in tiny living worlds—the book reveals how single cells can give rise to new, distinct races of yeast and bacteria.
This study examines offspring from single, isolated cells to understand how new traits emerge in microbes. It highlights methods developed to isolate individual cells and track their lineages, using Saccharomyces annomalus and Bacillus coli communis as primary examples. The work shows how some variations persist across many generations, even under different growth conditions, and how these new races can differ morphologically and physiologically from their parent types. It also discusses how these findings relate to broader questions about mutation, selection, and heredity in simple organisms.
- How single cells can produce new microbial races
- The role of isolation techniques and pure cultures in tracking heredity
- Examples across yeasts and bacteria, including observed morphological and functional changes
- The persistence and stability of newly derived traits over many generations
