Genetic and biochemical dissection of complex evolved traits in bacteria

Evolutionary innovations often arise from complex genetic and ecological interactions, which can make it challenging to understand retrospectively how a novel trait arose. In a long-term experiment, Escherichia coli gained the ability (Cit⁺ ) to utilize abundant citrate in the growth medium after ~3...
