Kleptoplasty in an Antarctic dinoflagellate: caught in evolutionary transition?

abstract：:It is generally assumed that acquisition of antibiotic resistance leads to non-specific fitness costs. We have tested the alternative hypothesis that acquisition of antibiotic resistance may not always produce a general burden to the microorganisms, as measured in competition tests, but rather lead to specific changes...
