Darwin was right: where now for experimental evolution?
TL;DR: The genotype-to-phenotype map and the constraints it imposes on evolution, and studies on major evolutionary transitions and in particular the importance of selection working over more than one timescale are highlighted.
Adaptive Divergence in Experimental Populations of Pseudomonas fluorescens. II. Role of the GGDEF Regulator WspR in Evolution and Development of the Wrinkly Spreader Phenotype
Patrick Goymer,Sophie G. Kahn,Jacob G. Malone,Stefanie M. Gehrig,Andrew J. Spiers,Paul B. Rainey,Paul B. Rainey +6 more
TL;DR: Ability to mimic this effect by overexpression of a liberated N-terminal domain shows that in WS, regulatory components upstream of WspR are overactive.
Determination of the structure of an extracellular peptide produced by the mushroom saprotroph pseudomonas reactans
Russell J. Mortishire-Smith,Jennifer C. Nutkins,L. C. Packman,Catherine L. Brodey,Paul B. Rainey,Keith Johnstone,Dudley H. Williams +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the primaiy structure of WLIP, a lipodepsipeptide produced by the mushroom saprotroph P. reactans, is determined by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic techniques.
Fragmentation modes and the evolution of life cycles
TL;DR: A model in which groups arise from the division of single cells that do not separate but stay together until the moment of group fragmentation is developed, which offers a new evolutionary explanation for the widespread occurrence of this mode of reproduction.
Genes encoding a cellulosic polymer contribute toward the ecological success of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 on plant surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development and application of a simple promoter trapping strategy (IVET) to identify Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 genes showing elevated levels of expression in the sugar beet rhizosphere.
