One main thing that happens with a long enough period of selection in a simple, stable environment on a microorganism is a shrinking of the genome.
You quite simply will not find a simple parameter perpetually increased by evolution. Whatever works better for that base organism in that particular environment will become more common. One thing being selected for under all circumstances and showing up all the time is just not the reality.
