Horizontal gene transfer-mediated bacterial strain variation affects host fitness in Drosophila
Abstract Background How microbes affect host fitness and environmental adaptation has become a fundamental research question in evolutionary biology. To better understand the role of microbial genomic variation for host fitness, we tested for associations of bacterial genomic variation and Drosophil...
