Adaptation to novel spatially-structured environments is driven by the capsule and alters virulence-associated traits – Nature Communications

Ancestral presence of capsule drives phenotypic evolution After 102 days of evolution in different environments, we verified that end-point populations had adapted, that is, they were fitter than their ancestors. Direct competitions between randomly sampled end-point populations and antibiotic-marked ancestors, that displayed no growth defects, revealed that both capsulated and non-capsulated populations had a competitive […]
