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

Nayma Romo Bechara, Nikhil S. Bardeskar, Heather A. Hopkins…·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.
