Figure 3

Mean (+/- SE) initial growth rate (top row) and yield (bottom row) of ancestral strains in complete (SDC), minimal (MM), phosphorus-depletion (Pdep), and nitrogen-depletion (Ndep) medium. Yield was measured at 24 h (SDC) or 48 h (all other environments) and corresponds to the duration of growth between transfers during the evolution experiment. Letters above the symbols indicate statistical differences among-strains for each environment from a post-hoc Tukey Test; when strains do not share a letter they are significantly different from each other.
