Metabolic and Morphotypic Trade-Offs within the Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics of Escherichia coli

Metabolic and Morphotypic Trade-Offs within the Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics of Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli arbitrarily encompasses facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria with defined respiratory and fermentative types of metabolism. The species diversification has been further advanced by atypical strains whose features deviate from the essential species-specific morphologic...
