Experimental evolution of heterotrophy in a green alga.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2013

Bell Graham

Abstract excerpt

Laboratory populations of a green alga cultured in the dark with an organic substrate evolved into efficient heterotrophs with faster growth, higher fitness, and increased responsiveness to substrate concentration. Their phenotypes were almost entirely attributable to selection, rather than to history or ancestry. The fitness of evolved lines in the light was uniformly depressed, presumably through the...
