Productivity of LM1212 and relative fitness in competition with Bt strains. (A) The spore yield of LM1212 is intermediate between that of a canonical Bt strain and a cry null mutant, data are means±s.e. Different superscripts indicate significantly different means, according to post hoc treatment contrasts, after fitting generalized linear models. (B) LM(p35′Z) has a positive frequency-dependent fitness, but outcompetes HD73(p35′Z) over a wide range of initial conditions. (C) A Cry null strain, HD73Cry−(p35′Z), can outcompete LM(p35′Z), except when rare. Spores were heat treated at 65 °C for 25 min before plating. Lines are fitted statistical models.
