Mitochondrial recombination generates novel phenotypes. Diploid strains containing isogenic homozygous nuclear genotypes and parental (Y12 (red) or YJM975 (blue) or recombinant (green) mitotypes were spotted via robotic transfer onto solid media, and colony sizes were quantified after 48 hrs. Two biological replicates for each parental control diploid were included. Colony sizes distributions are plotted as histograms. (A) YPEG, 37°. The intermediate phenotypes of representative recombinant strains (R1 and R2) are shown in the insert. (B) SOE, 37°. See Figure S1 for phenotypes for additional media and temperatures. SOE, ; YPEG, .
