Growth rates of dsRNA‐expressing BFo2 symbiotic bacteria are not significantly (NS) different in the three feeding solution formulations, as measured by fold increase in CFUs over 72 hr. Bar = SEM. (Note: the TSBY+ solution used in this experiment contained leek extract). CFU, colony forming unit; dsRNA, double‐strand RNA; SEM, standard error of mean; TSBY, tryptone soy broth and yeast extract
