“A new study using data from earlier work that had generated conflicting results now reveals that bacteria do indeed age, but aging and rejuvenation occur simultaneously. Aging appears to be related to inheritance of the old pole.”
Seems interesting to think of bacteria aging. But aging is not really about the decay of normal systems over time through accumulated damage. Is it not? Would be nice to have read through this paper. Will need to seek out this CLOSED ACCESS journal article.
