Parallel and Divergent Evolution in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Under Constant and Fluctuating Predator-Mediated Selection

Nayma Romo Bechara, Marcos Garcia, M. Bland, Kasie Raymann

This study shows that constant and fluctuating protozoan predation shape evolutionary trajectories in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by altering mutation dynamics, adaptation targets, and historical contingency.

Genomic and phenotypic diversification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa during sustained exposure to a ciliate predator

Nayma Romo Bechara, Nikhil S. Bardeskar, Heather A. Hopkins, Louis‐Marie Bobay, Kasie Raymann

This study shows that exposure to a ciliate predator reshapes evolutionary dynamics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by maintaining genetic diversity and altering mutation frequency distributions, without consistently increasing virulence.
