Figure 2. Burkholderia Infections Differentially Alter Spore Viability According to Burkholderia Species and Host Background.

Total viable spores were determined for naïve and native hosts in their field harvested (a), cured (b), B. agricolaris lab-infected (c), and B. hayleyella lab-infected state (d). Four clones were measured for each type with three replicates for each (squares, triangles, circles, and diamonds represent set 1–4 clones respectively). Spore viability for wild harvested B. agricolaris and B. hayleyella host clones is higher than their cured-re-infected counterparts. Notably, spores from infected B. agricolaris and B. hayleyella native hosts (either naturally infected or cured and re-infected with their original Burkholderia) have a higher fitness than Burkholderia infected non-native counterparts. Bars represent significant differences (p < 0.05, and as indicated in supplemental tables).

Figure 2—figure supplement 1.

Total spores (top panel) and percent viable spores (bottom panel) were determined for naïve and native hosts in their field harvested (a), cured (b), B. agricolaris lab-infected (c), and B. hayleyella lab-infected state (d). Four clones were measured for each type with three replicates for each (squares, triangles, circles, and diamonds represent set 1–4 clones respectively). These data were used to determine total viable spores represented in Figure 2.
