Figure 1. Biodiversity affects the evolution of phage resistance.

Figure 1

(a) Proportion of P. aeruginosa that acquired surface- (SM) or CRISPR-based resistance, or remained sensitive at 3 d.p.i. with phage DMS3vir when grown in monoculture or polycultures, or with an isogenic surface mutant (6 replicates per treatment, with 24 colonies per replicate, n = 864 biologically independent samples). Error bars ± one SE, with the mean as centre. (b) Microbial community composition over time for the mixed-species infection experiments. Legend abbreviations: PA14 = P. aeruginosa, SA = S. aureus, AB = A. baumannii, and BC = B. cenocepacia.
