We describe the evolution of $E.coli$ populations through a Bak-Sneppen type
model which incorporates random mutations. We show that, for a value of the
mutation level which coincides with the one estimated from experiments, this
model reproduces the measures of mean fitness relative to that of a common
ancestor, performed for over 10,000 bacterial generations.
