Consistency[edit]

The lead twice uses the word "consistency". It is not clear in what sense this word is being used. Is it like the "consistency of a pudding"? Or does it refer to uniformity across individuals? Either sense seems equally plausible to me. Maproom (talk) 08:42, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it meant homeostasis or "constancy" within the bacterial cell. It doesn't matter now since whoever wrote the lead seemed to misread the reference. I rewrote the lead to reflect what the reference says: [1]. CatPath (talk) 22:57, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
