Experimental evolution and the dynamics of adaptation and genome evolution in microbial populations.

The ISME journal - 1 Oct 2017

Lenski Richard E

Abstract excerpt

Evolution is an on-going process, and it can be studied experimentally in organisms with rapid generations. My team has maintained 12 populations of Escherichia coli in a simple laboratory environment for >25 years and 60 000 generations. We have quantified the dynamics of adaptation by natural selection, seen some of the populations diverge into stably coexisting ecotypes, described changes in the bacteria's...
