Community diversity determines the evolution of synthetic bacterial communities under artificial selection

<p>These data and script are related to the article entitled &quot;Community diversity determines the evolution of synthetic bacterial communities under artificial selection&quot;. This study reports the results of an experiment that involved bacterial communities differing for their richness level (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 species) and subjected to artificial selection or not. The property under selection was the optical&nbsp; density (OD). All the data needed to reproduce the figures and tables presented in the manuscript are provided.</p>
