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

Z. D. Blount, R. Maddamsetti, N. A. Grant…·R. E. Lenski

This study examines the genomic and phenotypic evolution of Escherichia coli in a citrate-only environment, identifying copy-number variations and transposable elements as key factors, while noting persistent physiological mismatches.
