Table 1. Summary of ANOVAs.
Quantitative trait | F (DFn, DFd) | P value |
---|---|---|
Expansion rate (A motility) | 3.877 (8, 36) | 0.0022 |
Expansion rate (S motility) | 3.050 (8, 36) | 0.01 |
Aggregate count | 111.4 (8, 18) | <0.0001 |
Viable spore count | 28.23 (8, 18) | <0.0001 |
A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed for each quantitative trait. Degrees of freedom (DF) are calculated from the number of sublines (nine, numerator) and replicate experiments (three or five, denominator). Aggregate count data were normalized by log-transforming prior to analysis. Significant differences in subline means are indicated by P < 0.05.
