Adaptive diversification events that underly the diversity of the living world have been studied by an experimental evolution strategy initiated by Richard Lenski in 1988. Twelve populations founded from a common ancestor of Escherichia coli are propagated independently since more than 55,000 generations by daily transfer in a glucose-limited minimal medium. A diversification event emerged after 6500 generations of evolution in only one of the twelve populations, called Ara-2, resulting in two lineages of differentiated cells, called S and L, that coexist ever since owing to negative frequency-dependent interactions. Two properties make this polymorphism original and important: its length as the longest one ever observed in evolution experi...
