Temperature acclimation and competitive fitness: an experimental test of the beneficial acclimation assumption.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Mar 1994

Leroi A M, Bennett A F, Lenski R E

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic acclimation is generally assumed to confer an advantage in the environment that stimulates the response. To test this beneficial acclimation assumption explicitly, we investigated the consequences of temperature acclimation for the fitness of Escherichia coli at two temperatures, 32 de...
