Environment-dependent fitness gains can be driven by horizontal gene transfer of transporter-encoding genes
Many microbes acquire metabolites in a “feeding” process where complex polymers are broken down in the environment to their subunits. The subsequent uptake of soluble metabolites by a cell, sometimes called osmotrophy, is facilitated by transporter proteins. As such, the diversification of osmotroph...
