Cumulative number of cell divisions as a meaningful timescale for adaptive laboratory evolution of Escherichia coli.
Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) under controlled conditions has become a valuable approach for the study of the genetic and biochemical basis for microbial adaptation under a given selection pressure. Conventionally, the timescale in ALE experiments has been set in terms of number of generations...
