Fitness Effects of Spontaneous Mutations in Picoeukaryotic Marine Green Algae

Fitness Effects of Spontaneous Mutations in Picoeukaryotic Marine Green Algae

Estimates of the fitness effects of spontaneous mutations are important for understanding the adaptive potential of species. Here, we present the results of mutation accumulation experiments over 265–512 sequential generations in four species of marine unicellular green algae, Ostreococcus tauri RCC...
