Fig. 1From: Adapting the engine to the fuel: mutator populations can reduce the mutational load by reorganizing their genome structureEvolution of the metabolic error in the control and mutator experiments. Mean change in metabolic error of the ancestral lineages between generations 300,000 and 390,000 for the 20 replicates of each WT (see Additional file 1: Figure S6 for the metabolic error of individual replicates). a Control strains (10 replicates). b Mutators strains (10 replicates).
