Evolution of competitive fitness in experimental populations of E. coli: what makes one genotype a better competitor than another?

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek - 1 Jan 1998

Lenski R E, Mongold J A, Sniegowski P D, Travisano M, Vasi F, Gerrish P J, Schmidt T M

Abstract excerpt

An important problem in microbial ecology is to identify those phenotypic attributes that are responsible for competitive fitness in a particular environment. Thousands of papers have been published on the physiology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics of Escherichia coli and other bacterial models. Nonetheless, little is known about what makes one genotype a better competitor than another even in such well...
