Abstract excerpt
Current evolutionary theory proposes that niche-adapted microbial populations might evolve through selection for favoured genotypes followed by clonal expansion (Maynard-Smith, 1991). Possible correlations between genomic variation and ecological niche in Escherichia coli isolates derived from hu...
