Figure 4. Differences in evolvability between Rifampicin and Streptomycin resistance alleles.

Figure 4

(A) Long-term dynamics, for 30 days (280 generations) of evolution in 14 replicates of a population composed of resistance strain K43TStr and resistance strain S531FRif. Shown are the dynamics for the K43T background. The slope of the black line represents the initial difference in fitness between the resistances. (B) Whisker-box shows the relative fitness differences inferred for new beneficial mutations between the two resistant backgrounds, with K43TStr background as a reference. (C) Whisker-box shows the relative differences in time of appearance inferred for new beneficial mutations between the two resistance backgrounds.
