Low base‐substitution mutation rate and predominance of insertion‐deletion events in the acidophilic bacterium Acidobacterium capsulatum

Abstract Analyses of spontaneous mutation have shown that total genome‐wide mutation rates are quantitatively similar for most prokaryotic organisms. However, this view is mainly based on organisms that grow best around neutral pH values (6.0–8.0). In particular, the whole‐genome mutation rate has n...
