Prokaryotic life finds a way: insights from evolutionary experimentation in bacteria.

Abstract excerpt

While evolution proceeds through the generation of random variant alleles, the application of selective pressures can select for subsets of mutations that confer fitness-improving physiological benefits. This, in essence, defines the process of adaptive evolution. The rapid replication rate of ba...
