Intraclonal Polymorphism in Bacteria
TL;DR: Ultimately, phenotypic plasticity reflects altered gene expression and it is the essence and subtleties of these genetically determined adaptations which are addressed in this chapter.

Unity from conflict.
TL;DR: Could the evolution of multicellular life have been fuelled by conflict among selective forces acting at different levels of organization?

TL;DR: A review of methods and data in different research fields by showing the breadth of situations in which evolutionary predictions are made can be found in this article , where the authors describe how diverse evolutionary predictions share a common structure described by the predictive scope, time scale and precision.

The histidine utilization (hut) genes of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 are active on plant surfaces, but are not required for competitive colonization of sugar beet seedlings
TL;DR: An existing recombinase-based transcriptional reporter strategy has been extended and applied to the plant-colonizing bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 and no impact on competitive fitness was detected, suggesting that the ability to utilize plant-derived histidine is not essential for bacterial colonization.

Phenotypic variation of Pseudomonas putida and P. tolaasii affects attachment to Agaricus bisporus mycelium.
TL;DR: Significant differences in attachment of wild-type and phenotypic variant strains were observed and fibrillar structures and amorphous material were frequently associated with attached cells and appeared to anchor bacteria to each other and to the hyphal surface.
