Trusting the hand that feeds: microbes evolve to anticipate a serial transfer protocol as individuals or collectives.

BMC evolutionary biology - 4 Nov 2019

van Dijk Bram, Meijer Jeroen, Cuypers Thomas D, Hogeweg Paulien

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Experimental evolution of microbes often involves a serial transfer protocol, where microbes are repeatedly diluted by transfer to a fresh medium, starting a new growth cycle. This has revealed that evolution can be remarkably reproducible, where microbes show parallel adaptations both on the level of the phenotype as well as the genotype. However, these studies also reveal a strong potential for...
