Repeated evolution of an acetate-crossfeeding polymorphism in long-term populations of Escherichia coli

Open access

Abstract

Six out of 12 independent replicate populations of Escherichia coli maintained in long-term glucose-limited continuous culture for up to approximately 1,750 generations evolve polymorphisms maintained by acetate crossfeeding. In all cases, the acetate-crossfeeding phenotype is associated with semiconstitutive overexpression of acetyl CoA synthetase, which allows for the enhanced uptake of low levels of exogenous acetate. Mutations in the 5' regulatory region of the acetyl CoA synthetase locus are responsible for all the acetate crossfeeding phenotypes found. These changes were either transposable-element insertions or a single T-->A nucleotide substitution at position -93 relative to the acs gene translation start site.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
