Different adaptive strategies in E. coli populations evolving under macronutrient limitation and metal ion limitation

Different adaptive strategies in E. coli populations evolving under macronutrient limitation and metal ion limitation

Abstract Background Adaptive responses to nutrient limitation involve mutations that increase the efficiency of usage or uptake of the limiting nutrient. However, starvation of different nutrients has contrasting effects on physiology, resulting in different evolutionary responses. Most studies perf...
