Competition performances and epifluorescence stereomicroscope images. Bar plots showing the percentages of nodule occupancy of 13 Sinorhizobium meliloti strains in three sets of competition experiments: competition versus S. meliloti Rm1021 (A), competition versus S. meliloti AK83 (B), and competition versus S. meliloti BL225C (C). Green bars represent single nodule occupancy of the strains tested whose ID is reported on the x axis; in yellow, the percentage of mixed nodules is shown (nodules occupied by both strains), and in red, the single nodule occupancy of the competitor used in each set of experiments is shown. Pictures show nodules of Medicago sativa inoculated with a mix of S. meliloti 1021 RFP-tagged and KH46 GFP-tagged (D) or GR4 GFP-tagged (E), S. meliloti AK83 RFP-tagged and HM006 GFP-tagged (F and G), and S. meliloti BL225C RFP-tagged and CCMM B554 GFP-tagged (H) or RU11/001 GFP-tagged (I).
