Genomic and phenotypic evolution of Escherichia coli in a novel citrate-only resource environment

Genomic and phenotypic evolution of Escherichia coli in a novel citrate-only resource environment

Evolutionary innovations allow populations to colonize new ecological niches. We previously reported that aerobic growth on citrate (Cit+) evolved in an Escherichia coli population during adaptation to a minimal glucose medium containing citrate (DM25). Cit+ variants can also grow in citrate-only me...
