Example sentences for: lenski

How can you use “lenski” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Travisano and Lenski [ 22 23 ] demonstrated that adaptations specific to growth on glucose were partly responsible for the initial fitness improvements.

  • To assess the longer-term consequences of these adaptations, Cooper and Lenski [ 27 ] employed Biolog™ plates, which are microtiter plates containing 95 different carbon sources and an indicator dye that reflects the amount of respiration on each substrate.

  • Mathematical transformations required to generate this average are described in detail in Cooper and Lenski [ 27 ] . Experiments were conducted in two complete blocks of 36 evolved 10,000-generation clones (12 populations × 3 clones) and 6 ancestral genotypes (2 ancestors × 3 replicates).

  • Travisano and Lenski [ 22 23 ] demonstrated that 2,000 generations of evolution was sufficient for these populations to lose fitness when grown on alternative sugars, and the reductions in maximum growth rate at extreme temperatures suggest a trend towards specialization in thermal niche [ 28 ] . Together, these investigations of the correlated responses to adaptation to a specific environment demonstrate the mismatch between the arbitrary scales that we use to measure performance and real biological alternatives.

  • Following closely the protocol described in Cooper and Lenski [ 27 ] , I used Biolog ®ES (designed for E. coli and Salmonella spp.)
