Replaying Evolution to Test the Cause of Extinction of One Ecotype in an Experimentally Evolved Population
In a long-term evolution experiment with Escherichia coli, bacteria in one of twelve populations evolved the ability to consume citrate, a previously unexploited resource in a glucose-limited medium. This innovation led to the frequency-dependent coexistence of citrate-consuming (Cit+) and non-consu...
