Schematic representation of the experimental evolutionary procedure. Prolonged exponential growth is maintained throughout the course of adaptive evolution by daily passage of cultures into fresh medium prior to entry into stationary phase. Inoculum at time of passage is adjusted to account for increasing growth rates (slope of log plot) over evolutionary time.
