Abstract excerpt
Little is known about how genetic variation at the nucleotide level contributes to competitive fitness within species. During a 6,000-generation study of Bacillus subtilis evolved under relaxed selection for sporulation, a new strain, designated WN716, emerged with significantly different colony...
