Abstract
The Lenski experiment is a long term daily reproduction of Escherichia coli, that has evidenced phenotypic and genetic evolutions along the years. Some mathematical models, that could be usefull in understanding the results of that experiment, are reviewed here: stochastic and deterministic growth, mutation appearance and fixation, competition of species.
