Mutations in filamentous bacteriophages spark eco-evolutionary feedbacks in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract excerpt

Microbial populations strongly shape their environment, which can re-route adaptation toward organism-generated fitness optima. However, the conditions that promote these eco-evolutionary feedbacks are unclear. Here, we used experimental evolution to test whether high population density, by strengthening niche construction, drives eco-evolutionary feedbacks in the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa)...
