Growth Temperature and Genome Size in Bacteria Are Negatively Correlated, Suggesting Genomic Streamlining During Thermal Adaptation

Prokaryotic genomes are small and compact. Either this feature is caused by neutral evolution or by natural selection favoring small genomes—genome streamlining. Three separate prior lines of evidence argue against streamlining for most prokaryotes. We find that the same three lines of evidence argu...
