What experiment was carried out to evolve E. coli in the lab?
« on: 02/11/2008 10:06:43 »
Pierre Le Count asked the Naked Scientists:

On a past episode I heard something about a experiment that ran for 20 years studying the evolution of 10-12 different populations of E. coli.  Could you give references please.

Thanks
Pierre Le Count

    Hi Pierre,

    The transcript of that interview is available here:

    http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/content/interviews/interview/936/

    There's been a few different papers resulting from the long-term ecoli experiments, but there's a good list of Richard Lenski's publications here:  http://myxo.css.msu.edu/Publications.html

    He's a really nice chap, too.

    Hi BenV,

    Thanks a lot for posting the reply.  I really wanted information in written form so I can save and refer to it at later dates.

    again thanks
