Conceptual diagram of the model. (a) A prokaryotic genome assumed in the model. The box labeled with E indicates a locus involved in adaptation to a new ecological niche (E locus). The boxes labeled with S indicate susceptibility loci subject to NFDS (S loci). The box labeled with N indicates a neutral locus (N locus). (b) The loci and alleles assumed in the model prokaryote genome. E locus, ecological locus; N locus, neutral locus; S loci, susceptibility loci.
