The evolution of a pleiotropic fitness tradeoff in Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 25 May 2004

MacLean R Craig, Bell Graham, Rainey Paul B

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of ecological specialization is expected to carry a cost, due to either antagonistic pleiotropy or mutation accumulation. In general, it has been difficult to distinguish between these two possibilities. Here, we demonstrate that the experimental evolution of niche-specialist genotypes of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens that colonize the air-broth interface of spatially structured microcosms...
