I am interested in those bacteria. Did they seem to develop some novel
functions? If so, do you have thoughts on the source of the
variability? Was it something like the iteration of viruses or of the
immune system?
Evolved or not seems retrospective which seems speculative unless
confirmed by a reproducible experiment. How do you see it?
