Metabolic complexity increases adaptability

2023-04-18

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria show a striking ability to adapt to new environments through horizontal gene transfer. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some bacteria are more adaptable than others: e . g ., intestinal E. coli frequently spin off pathogenic strains adapted to other human tissues, while gastric Helicobacter pylori do not. However, it is unclear what determines the ability of individual strains or species to adapt to n...
