The Ma-Sandri-Sarkar maximum likelihood estimator is the most accurate way to interpret its results, and is superior to a method using Yule processes named for Lea and (*) Coulson.
One protein central to this experiment is a ferrichrome transporter coded for by the fhuA gene. One hypothesis being tested by this experiment proposed a Fano Factor of unity with low variance and the results following a Poisson distribution. The FALCOR calculator was developed to analyze the results of this experment, while Haldane's method assumes synchronous cell growth. The Ma-Sandri-Sarkar maximum likelihood estimator is the most accurate way to interpret its results, and is superior to a method using Yule processes named for Lea and (*) Coulson. Cairns' modification of this experiment used lactase-deficient E coli, and this experiment built upon one investigating antibiotic resistance to penicillin performed by Lederberg. This experiment disproved the "acquired immunity" hypothesis, which claimed that mutations would only exist in response to an environmental stressor. For 10 points, name this 1943 fluctuation experiment exposing E coli to the T1-bacteriophage which showed that selection is not the cause of mutations, named for two scientists.
