Figure 5. Some late gene mutants are attenuated in stool and/or pond water survival after in vivo passage.

Figure 5

Competition assays in various conditions using in vivo or in vitro passaged strains as indicated. Each circle represents the value from a single competition assay. The horizontal bar indicates the median of each data set. A significant decrease of the CI compared to that in LB is indicated above the data sets (* p<0.01 or ** p<0.05, using a Mann-Whitney U-test). A plus sign indicates a significant difference of the CIs between mutants expressing the respective gene in trans and AC53res1 with vector alone compared to the mutant/AC53res1 (p<0.05, using a Mann-Whitney U-test).
