Rescue of social motility lost during evolution of Myxococcus xanthus in an asocial environment.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 2002

Velicer Gregory J, Lenski Richard E, Kroos Lee

Abstract excerpt

Replicate populations of the social bacterium Myxococcus xanthus underwent extensive evolutionary adaptation to an asocial selective environment (liquid batch culture). All 12 populations showed partial or complete loss of their social (S) motility function after 1,000 generations of evolution. M...
