Escherichia coli K-12 undergoes adaptive evolution to achieve in silico predicted optimal growth.

Abstract excerpt

Annotated genome sequences can be used to reconstruct whole-cell metabolic networks. These metabolic networks can be modelled and analysed (computed) to study complex biological functions. In particular, constraints-based in silico models have been used to calculate optimal growth rates on common carbon substrates, and the results were found to be consistent with experimental data under many but not all...
