The presence of moderate mutator alleles reduces the probability of fixation of a strong mutator allele. Fixation probability (1,000 simulations per point) of a 100-fold mutator in an asexual population of 109 cells is presented as a function of the strength of the moderate mutator allele fixed in the population before adaptation (mutator allele strengths are relative to wild type).
