Mutability and importance of a hypermutable cell subpopulation that produces stress-induced mutants in Escherichia coli.
In bacterial, yeast, and human cells, stress-induced mutation mechanisms are induced in growth-limiting environments and produce non-adaptive and adaptive mutations. These mechanisms may accelerate evolution specifically when cells are maladapted to their environments, i.e., when they are are stress...
