The ChtA cells increase in the population over one cycle of development

Input vegetative cells		Spores after 48 hr
% chtA vs. wild type		% chtA vs. wild type
Expt. 1	Expt. 2	Expt. 1	Expt. 2
4.8	1.9	23.9 (5×)	12.5 (6.5×)
24.5	20.2	46.9 (1.9×)	49.6 (2.5×)
41.7	43.4	85.2 (2×)	73.0 (1.7×)

Chimeras were made with AX3 and chtA. After fruiting bodies formed, the spores were plated clonally and examined for wild-type or chtA phenotypes. Between 200 and 300 clones were examined in each case.
