But sometime around the 31,500th generation, something dramatic happened in just one of the populations – the bacteria suddenly acquired the ability to metabolise citrate, a second nutrient in their culture medium that E. coli normally cannot use. Cool!

It's the first time evolution has been caught in the act of making such a rare and complex new trait. Odd. I've been told many times on this board that macroevolution has been observed many times in the lab. But according to this article, this was a First.
And because the species in question is a bacterium ...
Oh. Singular. I see. We're still talking about one species so I guess this isn't macroevolution.

The bacterium changed species? If so, wow! If not, yawn.
Lots of differentiation within species. Nobody’s arguing that.

Send democrat party hirelings down to the lab and sign them up to vote in time for the next election.

It's the first time evolution has been caught in the act of making such a rare and complex new trait.So is it still E Coli or not? Physicians are aware of changes in bacteria that cause disease such as resistance to antibiotics, but staph and strep don't change into pseudomonas and proteus.
