Changes in Cell Size and Shape during 50,000 Generations of Experimental Evolution with Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 21 Apr 2021

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria adopt a wide variety of sizes and shapes, with many species exhibiting stereotypical morphologies. How morphology changes, and over what timescales, is less clear. Previous work examining cell morphology in an experiment with Escherichia coli showed that populations evolved larger cells and, in some cases, cells that were less rod-like. That experiment has now run for over two more decades. Meanwhile,...
