E Unibus Plurum: genomic analysis of an experimentally evolved polymorphism in Escherichia coli.
Microbial populations founded by a single clone and propagated under resource limitation can become polymorphic. We sought to elucidate genetic mechanisms whereby a polymorphism evolved in Escherichia coli under glucose limitation and persisted because of cross-feeding among multiple adaptive clones...
