DRASTIC MEASURES. “A well-documented force affecting heritable symbionts is genetic drift leading to the fixation of neutral or deleterious mutations that cause gene inactivation, gene loss, or inefficiency of gene products. The basis for elevated genetic drift is the drastic shift in population genetic structure that occurs when a free-living microorganism adopts an obligate symbiotic lifestyle.”
