Long-term experimental evolution decouples size and production costs in Escherichia coli

D. Marshall, M. Malerba, T. Lines, A. Sezmis, C. Hasan, R. Lenski, M. McDonald

This study shows that in Escherichia coli, larger cell size does not correlate with increased production costs, contradicting metabolic theory predictions.

Environmental and physiological factors affecting high-throughput measurements of bacterial growth

E. Atolia, S. Cesar, H. Arjes, M. Rajendram, H. Shi, B. Knapp, S. Khare, A. Aranda-Diaz, R. Lenski, K. C. Huang

The paper presents a framework for accurate bacterial growth measurements, revealing effects of culturing conditions, initial cell density, and glycerol on growth rates and fitness.

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

N. A. Grant, A. Abdel Magid, J. Franklin, Y. S. Dufour, R. Lenski

This study tracks changes in cell size and shape over 50,000 generations of Escherichia coli evolution, showing increased cell size and fitness, with variation in shape across populations.
