Experimental Evolution Of Microorganisms

Experimental Evolution of Microorganisms is a methodological framework in evolutionary biology that involves the controlled propagation of microbial populations under defined selective pressures to observe and quantify the dynamics of adaptation, with its distinguishing feature being the empirical investigation of evolutionary processes such as mutation, selection, and clonal interference in real time.
