Zusammenfassung
Growing (micro)organisms are subject to different types of environmental
changes. Some of these are regular - for instance, daily variations of light
intensity. Others are stochastic, such as the random appearance of predators or
toxins. Bacteria have developed an astonishing panoply of survival strategies
in varying environments. I will describe some recent experimental and
theoretical studies of bacterial behavior. Connections with information theory
and statistical mechanics will be discussed.
