Fig. 1.

Violin plots showing the growth results, expressed as average growth performance (GP_avg), in different artificial nectars of the Acinetobacter and Rosenbergiella species tested in this study. Note that, in general, the GP_avg values obtained for most species in each artificial nectar were broadly distributed around the median value (white dots contained within the thick black bars representing the interquartile range [IQR] that are shown inside the violin plots). Outlier values (red dots located beyond the boundaries of the thin black lines representing 1.5 × IQR) are evident in some plots. Abbreviations: AB, Acinetobacter boissieri (n = 8); AN, Acinetobacter nectaris (n = 35); RA, Rosenbergiella australiborealis (n = 3); RC, Rosenbergiella collisarenosi (n = 6); RE, Rosenbergiella epipactidis (n = 16); RG, ‘Rosenbergiella gaditana’ (n = 3); RM, ‘Rosenbergiella metrosideri’ (n = 1); RN, Rosenbergiella nectarea (n = 16). Artificial nectar codes are as in Table 1
