Long-term experimental evolution in Escherichia coli. IV. Targets of selection and the specificity of adaptation.

Genetics - 1 May 1996

Travisano M, Lenski R E

Abstract excerpt

This study investigates the physiological manifestation of adaptive evolutionary change in 12 replicate populations of Escherichia coli that were propagated for 2000 generations in a glucose-limited environment. Representative genotypes from each population were assayed for fitness relative to their common ancestor in the experimental glucose environment and in 11 novel single-nutrient environments. After 2000...
