Mutations leading to loss of sporulation ability in Bacillus subtilis are sufficiently frequent to favor genetic canalization.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2007

Masel Joanna, Maughan Heather

Abstract excerpt

We measured the rate of mutations impairing sporulation ability in Bacillus subtilis as 0.003 in a mutator population, following 6000 generations of strong selection for sporulation that have previously been described. This means that the product of the population size and the functional mutation...
