Transposable elements and fitness of bacteria.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Jun 2002

Martiel Jean-Louis, Blot Michel

Abstract excerpt

A stochastic model was designed to describe the evolution of bacterial cultures during 10,000 generations. It is based on a decreasing law for the generation of beneficial mutations as they become fixed in the genomes. Seven beneficial mutations on average were necessary to improve the relative fitness from 1.0 to 1.43 and the model was consistent with the population biology and the genetic data of 12...
