Competitive fitness of transconjugant Methylobacterium strains containing pJM10. Fitness is measured relative to DM4 ΔdcmA-Venus. Cultures were grown in pure culture using DCM as the sole carbon and energy source. The strains were then individually competed against DM4 ΔdcmA-Venus. Error bars show one standard deviation, calculated from three biological replicates. Each competition was repeated at least three times, with results similar to those shown here.
