Abstract
Evolution is a phenomenon that escapes immediate attention because changes occur at a very slow pace and are often considered at odds with a religious vision of the world. Using bacteria that replicate so much faster than eukaryotes has permitted to quantify and discern tendencies. Such laboratory evolution implies growth rate, ability to use this or that substrate, but also synthesis and resistance to antibiotics and the ability to interact with eukaryotic hosts.
