Pseudomonas putida Dynamics of Adaptation under Prolonged Resource Exhaustion.

Abstract excerpt

Many nonsporulating bacterial species survive prolonged resource exhaustion, by entering a state termed long-term stationary phase. Here, we performed long-term stationary phase evolutionary experiments on the bacterium Pseudomonas putida, followed by whole-genome sequencing of evolved clones. We show that P. putida is able to persist and adapt genetically under long-term stationary phase. We observed an...
