^aIntegration length (bp) were calculated as the midpoints between informative SNPs or restriction sites. Based on the average of n clones.

^bt-test was used to compare the mean integration length of wild type bacteria to the mean integration length of the mutants. p-values < 0.05 are highlighted in grey.

^cnumber of clones analyzed in each recipient strain

^dn value for overall length is occasionally different than upstream and downstream length because clones with interspersed donor and recipient sequences that could indicate multiple recombination events were excluded.
