The Effect of Cellular Redox Status on the Evolvability of New Catabolic Pathways

ABSTRACT Oxidation of aromatic compounds can be mutagenic due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in bacterial cells and thereby facilitate evolution of corresponding catabolic pathways. To examine the effect of the background biochemical network on the evolvability of environmental...
