Theoretically, a lineage can't sustain any mutation rate, even if selection and recombination operate. I'm not sure one can provide an actual number of mutations per genome per generation, though. It depends on the deleterious effect of mutations and their interactions (negative epistasis or something like that). Anyway, it's probably more than a hundred.
Remember those papers by Kondrashov that AFdave liked to quote?
