Universal bacterial clade dynamics dominate under predation despite altered phenotypes and mutation targets.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have revealed bacterial genome-wide evolution to be complex and dynamic even in a constant environment, characterized by the emergence of new clades competing or temporarily coexisting as each clade undergoes evolutionary change. Previous studies on predator-prey dynamics tracking simple ecological and phenotypic metrics have shown predation to fundamentally alter prey evolution, facilitating...
