Stress-induced mutagenesis: Stress diversity facilitates the persistence of mutator genes.
Mutator strains are expected to evolve when the availability and effect of beneficial mutations are high enough to counteract the disadvantage from deleterious mutations that will inevitably accumulate. As the population becomes more adapted to its environment, both availability and effect of benefi...
