Figure 2. Competition of the WT strain with arhythmic strains [11].

Figure 2

A, phenotypes of three strains used in the competition experiments. The WT strain (top) shows circadian rhythms with a ~25 h FRP. CLAb (middle), a clock-disrupted kaiC mutant, is arhythmic. Another kaiC mutant, CLAc (bottom), is also ultimately arhythmic but initially shows a rapidly damped oscillation. B, competitions between the WT strain and arhythmic mutants under LD 12:12 (upper) or LL conditions (lower). Data are plotted as the fraction of the mutant strain in mixed cultures (ordinate) versus the estimated number of generations (abscissa). Figure modified from [3, 11].
