Quantifying fitness and gene stability in microorganisms.

Biotechnology (Reading, Mass.) - 1 Jan 1991

Lenski R E

Abstract excerpt

Fitness represents the combined effects of all other phenotypic properties on the capacity for survival and reproduction by a particular genotype in a particular environment. For most environmental application of genetically modified microorganisms, efficacy will be enhanced if the engineered genotype is more fit than its wild-type counterpart in the target environment. However, inadvertent spread of the...
