Engineered Complexity in the Microbial World
Many biological “adaptations” may involve the use of innate abilities or the disruption of existing functions, rather than the creation of entirely new ones.
Engineering and Evolution in the Microbial World
This year’s Conference on Engineering in Living Systems (CELS) is going on right now, exploring design principles at work in living things.
Viral Video Overstates the Evidence About Bacterial Evolution
Richard Lenski claims that his experiment provides “one of the most direct demonstrations of Darwinian adaptations by natural selection you can imagine.”
Biologist Dustin Van Hofwegen Punctures Claims for Lenski’s Long-Term Evolution Experiment
Perhaps the biggest evolutionary development in the course of the experiment involved some bacteria beginning to feed on citric acid.
