Also you could use a mutS E coli mutant, it could increase the number of mutation in th genome, so it could evolve faster that other strains

Kris Niño Valdehuesa

Thank you Dr. Mejia for the interesting reference. However, I am looking for a method that would not take 60,000 generations of the strain in order to get my desired mutant. It would be preferable to have a faster method, say in less than 60 days I will be able to get the desired mutant.
