Microbiology lovers, let's play a game without googling the question or asking ChatGPT.
A question about adaptive evolution: Do you think Salmonella does more mutations during the acute (early infection) or chronic phase in the human gut?

I like it this way! There was a programmer teaching us coding not in bioinformatics, but in data, business and python related (Correlation One Co.), we learned more because he was doing everything live in the session, even though he is a professional & expert, he made mistakes. It was so fun ๐Ÿ˜

Thank you so much for the explanations. It's a sea of mobile genes, fragments and plasmids on land. Disturbed in nature and stay there. This is how I've always imagined them.

Thank you for your response.
They naturally produce ARG while fighting against each other for survival.
I have a second question: you said in a comment that you find non-living plasmids, did they just left there in the environment and the bacteria can take it when it's possible?

"SAR11 play a major role in the marine carbon cycle ...streamlining has maximized the organismโ€™s efficiency for cellular replication. The smaller your genome, the less you need to replicate; small genomes save on carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus requirements, which can be limited in the open ocean."
