Competent cells were transformed with R304 donor DNA and transformants resistant to streptomycin (SmR; rpsL41 point mutation) were scored.

Absolute transformation frequencies are shown in Table S1.

2

Fold reduction in SmR transformants relative to the wildtype parent strain indicated in footnote 3.

Transformations have been carried out in parallel for all strains in the same experiment: strains R1818, R2646 and R2647 in experiments I–III; strains R1501, R1988, R2081 and R2082 in experiment IV; and strains R1501 and R1988 in experiment V.

Ratio errors calculated as indicated in Table S1.
