Bacterial diet influences mutation rate in Pristionchus pacificus.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation is a major force of evolution and its accumulation is suggested to be influenced by environmental and genetic factors in both unicellular and multicellular species. While ample of evidence showed an effect of temperature on mutation rate, the influence of diet is less well characterized, especially in multicellular organisms. Here, we present mutation accumulation (MA) rate differences for the same...
