Microbial diversification is maintained in an experimentally evolved synthetic community.

Abstract excerpt

Microbial communities are incredibly diverse. Yet, the eco-evolutionary processes originating and maintaining this diversity remain understudied. Here, we investigate the patterns of diversification for Pseudomonas putida evolving in isolation and with Acinetobacter johnsonii leaking resources used by P. putida. We experimentally evolved four experimental replicates in monoculture and co-culture for 200...
