Trusting the hand that feeds: microbes evolve to anticipate a serial transfer protocol as individuals or collectives

Abstract Background Experimental evolution of microbes often involves a serial transfer protocol, where microbes are repeatedly diluted by transfer to a fresh medium, starting a new growth cycle. This has revealed that evolution can be remarkably reproducible, where microbes show parallel adaptation...
