...For example, whole-genome resequencing of adapted strains showed that only a small number of mutations arise after hundreds of generations (Herring et al, 2006; Conrad et al, 2009)....

...Therefore, it seems that there are unknown regulatory mechanisms at work, potentially because of mutations found in transcriptional regulators in the evolved strains (Herring et al, 2006; Conrad et al, 2009; Charusanti et al, submitted for publication)....

...The genetic and physiological characteristics of the adaptation have been described (Herring et al, 2006; Barrick et al, 2009; Conrad et al, 2009; Charusanti et al, submitted for publication)....

...When prokaryotes are grown at low- to mid-log phase for hundreds of generations through periodic serial passaging, they acquire an increased growth rate (Lenski and Travisano, 1994; Ibarra et al, 2002; Fong et al, 2003; Barrick et al, 2009; Conrad et al, 2009; Teusink et al, 2009)....

...…this work, each strain studied had ample time for more drastic changes in gene and protein expression, as a result of the mutations in metabolic enzymes and global regulators attained in the adaptive time course (Herring et al, 2006; Conrad et al, 2009; Charusanti et al, submitted for publication)....

...Evolved strains can then be re-sequenced to find all mutations generated, thus illuminating the underlying genetic and molecular biological basis for optimal growth phenotypes [31,32]....
