A Lenski defender says: From the first page of the paper in question (Blount, Z. D., C. Z. Borland, and R. E. Lenski. 2008. Historical contingency and the evolution of a key innovation in an experimental population of Escherichia coli. PNAS, USA 105:7899-7906):

address the repeatability of evolutionary trajectories and outcomes,
  −
the long-term evolution experiment (LTEE) with Escherichia
  −
coli was started in 1988 with the founding of 12 populations
  −
from the same clone (2). These populations were initially

identical except for a neutral marker that distinguished six lines

from six others. They have since been propagated by daily 1:100

serial transfer in DM25, a minimal medium containing <b>25

WHERE IS THE DATA MEASURING OR CONFIRMING THE 25 MG/LITER GLUCOSE?  DID THAT CONCENTRATION EVER CHANGE?

A weighed amount of glucose is mixed into the medium. The paper states that the concentration listed was used in the media throughout the continuous subculturing experiment.
