Repeated, selection-driven genome reduction of accessory genes in experimental populations.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2012

Lee Ming-Chun, Marx Christopher J

Abstract excerpt

Genome reduction has been observed in many bacterial lineages that have adapted to specialized environments. The extreme genome degradation seen for obligate pathogens and symbionts appears to be dominated by genetic drift. In contrast, for free-living organisms with reduced genomes, the dominant...
