Microbial Experimental Evolution

Microbial Experimental Evolution is a subfield of experimental evolution that employs microorganisms to study evolutionary processes in real time under controlled laboratory conditions, distinguished by the use of short-generation, genetically tractable microbial systems to observe and manipulate adaptation, mutation, and selection dynamics.
