Adaptive laboratory evolution of a thermophile toward a reduced growth temperature optimum

Thermophily is an ancient trait among microorganisms. The molecular principles to sustain high temperatures, however, are often described as adaptations, somewhat implying that they evolved from a non-thermophilic background and that thermophiles, i.e., organisms with growth temperature optima (TOPT...
