text: A key aspect of bacterial survival is the ability to evolve while migrating
across spatially varying environmental challenges. Laboratory experiments, however,
often study evolution in well-mixed systems. Here, we introduce an experimental
device, the microbial evolution and growth arena (MEGA)-plate, in which bacteria
spread and evolved on a large antibiotic landscape (120 × 60 centimeters) that
allowed visual observation of mutation and selection in a migrating bacterial
front.While resistance increased consistently, multiple coexisting lineages diversified
both phenotypically and genotypically. Analyzing mutants at and behind the propagating
front,we found that evolution is not always led by the most resistant mutants;
highly resistant mutants may be trapped behindmore sensitive lineages.TheMEGA-plate
provides a versatile platformfor studying microbial adaption and directly visualizing
evolutionary dynamics.
