DYNAMIC NICHES. “Because gene acquisitions can increase the metabolic repertoire of the cell, we need not view the microbial niche as a static domain, within which fitter variants constantly arise and sweep through the population. Although an organism may evolve to improve its fitness within its current niche, it is more likely that gene acquisition will allow exploitation of a related environment.”
