Stress‐directed adaptive mutations and evolution
@article{Wright2004StressdirectedAM, title={Stress‐directed adaptive mutations and evolution}, author={B. Wright}, journal={Molecular Microbiology}, year={2004}, volume={52} }
Comparative biochemistry demonstrates that the metabolites, complex biochemical networks, enzymes and regulatory mechanisms essential to all living cells are conserved in amazing detail throughout evolution. Thus, in order to evolve, an organism must overcome new adverse conditions without creating different but equally dangerous alterations in its ongoing successful metabolic relationship with its environment. Evidence suggests that stable long‐term acquisitive evolution results from minor… CONTINUE READING
