Adaptation to Parasites and Costs of Parasite Resistance in Mutator and Nonmutator Bacteria.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Mar 2016

Wielgoss Sébastien, Bergmiller Tobias, Bischofberger Anna M, Hall Alex R

Abstract excerpt

Parasitism creates selection for resistance mechanisms in host populations and is hypothesized to promote increased host evolvability. However, the influence of these traits on host evolution when parasites are no longer present is unclear. We used experimental evolution and whole-genome sequencing of Escherichia coli to determine the effects of past and present exposure to parasitic viruses (phages) on the...
