Opposing effects of final population density and stress on Escherichia coli mutation rate

Evolution depends on mutations. For an individual genotype, the rate at which mutations arise is known to increase with various stressors (stress-induced mutagenesis—SIM) and decrease at high final population density (density-associated mutation-rate plasticity—DAMP). We hypothesised that these two...
