Organism–media pairings are predicted based on an observed transitivity heuristic following a schema shown in (a). Organisms orgA and orgB share a medium (M1), organisms orgB and orgC grow on M2 and the third organism orgC grows on medium 3; we then predict, based on transitivity, that orgA will grow on medium 3. (b) Distribution of expert DSMZ curator opinions on whether organisms will grow in transitive-predicted media (full opinion descriptions are provided in Supplementary Data 1). (c) Pie charts that represent the number of growth phenotypes observed for organisms grown in vitro on their listed lab media (left) and for the same organisms grown on newly predicted media (right). Numbers in the pie charts show the number of organism–medium pairs tested.
