Project name: Escherichia coli

Description: Laboratory adaptive evolution experiments were conducted using serial passage of E. coli in M9 minimal medium supplemented with either 2 g/L of lactate for 60 days or 2 g/L of glycerol for 44 days. 7 parallel evolution strains were generated for growth on lactate and 7 parallel evolution strains were generated for growth on glycerol.Affymetrix arrays were used to study the time-course change in gene expression from unevolved E. coli (day 0) to a midpoint evolved strain (day 20) and evolutionary endpointsOverall design: Biological replicate arrays were conducted for each of the time points tested for the different evolution strains

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate
