Abstract excerpt
The evolution of Escherichia coli MG1655 mutants was followed over 126 d in a glycerol-limited chemostat at a dilution rate of 0.05 h-1. This corresponds to a total of 217 generations at a doubling time of 13.9 h. After this time, nearly 90% of the chemostat population consisted of evolved mutant...
