- Abstract:
- Understanding, at a mechanistic level, the moment-by-moment workings of adaptive evolution is essential for biological science. However, the challenges posed are immense and progress requires simple experimental populations where evolutionary processes can be observed in real time. Using populations of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens, we propose a multifaceted programme of research that combines state of the art proteomic analyses, whole-genome mutation screening protocols and biochemical studies of signal transduction pathways. Together, these technologies and their innovative application will generate a comprehensive account of a single moment of adaptive evolution - from primary DNA sequence change, through to form and fitness.
