Fig. 2. Re-infection of susceptible bacteria by TM7x.

a–l Isolated TM7x cells from XH001-TM7x coculture were added to the 12 susceptible host cells at passage 0, and cell density (blue, circles) and TM7x scores (red, squares) were monitored during subsequent passages. Host alone control is shown in gray triangles. a–i Host strains where cell density drops precipitously are referred to as ‘permissive’ hosts. j–l Three strains that do not have growth-crash are termed ‘nonpermissive’ hosts. Host strain names are labeled on the top right corner of each graph.
