Richard Lenski is best known for his 20-year E. coli experiment in which he claims to have obtained proof of [[evolution]].  Lenski claims that he observed minor changes in bacteria populations in the long-term laboratory study, while insisting that these changes were not due to contamination.   

Richard Lenski is best known for his 20-year ''E. coli'' experiment in which he claims to have obtained proof of [[evolution]].  Lenski claims that he observed minor changes in bacteria populations in the long-term laboratory study, while insisting that these changes were not due to contamination.   

The biologist [[Michael Behe]] criticized Richard Lenski's claims concerning the significance of his experiment (see: [http://behe.uncommondescent.com/2008/06/multiple-mutations-needed-for-e-coli/ Multiple Mutations Needed for E. Coli] by Michael Behe).
