Laboratory-based evolution experiments on microorganisms that do not recombine frequently show two distinct phases: an initial rapid increase in fitness followed by a slower regime. To explore the population structure and the evolutionary tree in the later stages of adaptation, we evolved a very large population (~3 × 10(10)) of Acinetobacter baylyi bacteria for approximately 2,800 generations from a single clone. The population was maintained in a chemostat at a high dilution rate. Nitrate in l ...[more]
