Scientists control bacterial mutations to preserve antibiotic effectiveness Great work by @RowanCallumGre1 with @Rok_Krasovec several others and me:
Super excited that the final version of our paper on mutation rate plasticity and oxidative stress is out now at PLoS biology! This paper shows how mutation rates are a highly dynamic trait shaped by genotype, community composition and abiotic factors. 1/8
