Temporal evolution of master regulator Crp identifies pyrimidines as catabolite modulator factors

Microbial evolution often involves transient phenotypes and sequential development of multiple mutations of unclear relevance. Here, the authors show that the evolution of non-growing E. coli cells can be driven by alterations in pyrimidine nucleoside levels associated with colony ageing and/or due...
