Abstract

Cellular functionality is tightly coupled to the external environment. The type of nutrients available defines the internal metabolic flow, while their abundance often limits the rate of biomass production and energy available for growth. An abundance of toxins impede upon various aspects of cellular machinery, including metabolic capacity, protein stability or DNA integrity. Over evolutionary time scales, cells may encounter virtually endless environmental states at widely different frequencies. Maintaining optimal functionality in the presence of such external variability is a central evolutionary constraint.
