Abstract: The Lenski experiment is a corner stone in Experimental Evolution, and has been running since 1988. It investigates the long-term evolution of bacterium E. coli. I will talk about the individual-based and continuum mathematical modelling of the bacteria population to describe how the population fitness evolve over time. The talk will be mainly based on the following works:
1. (with A. Gonzalez-Casanova, N. Kurt, A. Wakolbinger) An individual-based model for the Lenski experiment, and the deceleration of the relative fitness. Stochastic Processes and Their Applications. 126(8), 2211-2252, 2016.
2. A generalization of Kingman's model of selection and mutation and the Lenski experiment. Mathematical Biosciences. 285, 61-67?, 2017.
3. Kingman's model with random mutation probabilities: convergence and condensation I. Journal of Statistical Physics. 181(3), 870–896, 2020.
4. Kingman's model with random mutation probabilities: convergence and condensation II. To appear in Advances in Applied Probability. March 2022.
