Aerobiosis increases the genomic guanine plus cytosine content (GC%) in prokaryotes.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Sept 2002

Naya Hugo, Romero Héctor, Zavala Alejandro, Alvarez Beatriz, Musto Héctor

Abstract excerpt

The huge variation in the genomic guanine plus cytosine content (GC%) among prokaryotes has been explained by two mutually exclusive hypotheses, namely, selectionist and neutralist. The former proposals have in common the assumption that this feature is a form of adaptation to some ecological or physiological condition. On the other hand, the neutralist interpretation states that the variations are due only to...
