Table 2.
Estimates of numbers of generations undergone by each strain between transfers and over the entire MA experiment
| Strain | Number of generations by ancestor in three days | Number of generations by ancestor in four days | Number of generations by ancestor in five days | Average number of generations by MA lines in four days (95% CIs) | Average number of generations by MA lines in five days (95% CIs) | Total number of generations of MA (95% CIs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CC-1952 | 8.68 | 12.39 | 14.34 | 11.49 (11.00, 11.98) | 13.12 (12.63, 13.60) | 1021.12 (969.37, 1072.88) |
| CC-2342 | 10.90 | 12.72 | 13.46 | 11.43 (10.55, 12.31) | 13.54 (12.76, 14.31) | 1032.65 (942.31, 1122.98) |
| CC-2344 | 7.54 | 11.39 | 12.64 | 10.67 (10.11, 11.23) | 12.22 (11.73, 12.71) | 938.10 (912.50, 963.69) |
| CC-2931 | 9.50 | 12.06 | 13.48 | 11.08 (10.36, 11.79) | 12.75 (11.87, 13.63) | 1025.59 (985.90, 1065.28) |
| CC-2937 | 8.17 | 12.15 | 13.94 | 11.24 (10.77, 11.70) | 13.08 (12.67, 13.48) | 929.07 (854.31, 1003.83) |
Estimates are shown for three-, four-, and five-day transfer periods for the ancestors. The three-day transfer period was only used in the early part of the study, and so three days measures were not made on the MA lines.
