  • Title: Fitting the niche by genomic adaptation.
    Author: Thomson N, Bentley S, Holden M, Parkhill J.
    Journal: Nat Rev Microbiol; 2003 Nov; 1(2):92-3. PubMed ID: 15035037.
    Abstract:
    Studying microbial genomics has shown that the genomes of bacteria are extremely dynamic in evolutionary terms. Many research groups have linked the adaptation of an organism to a niche to large changes in genome size and content. A number of recent papers have underlined the degree to which the genomes of different organisms are a reflection of the opportunities and constraints imposed by their chosen niche.
