Abstract excerpt
Extensive phenotypic and genomic diversity was detected among offspring of Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 (nonmutator) and LT7 (mutator, mutL) strains after decades of storage in sealed nutrient agar stabs. In addition to numerous losses in carbon and nitrogen metabolism, the acquired new metabolites indicated that alternate pathways were established. Particularly striking was the array...
