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 human and animal sources were investigated by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. A 1.6-kb polymorphic...
