Titer of SPβ WT, ΔaimR, ΔyopN, and double mutant ΔaimR-yopN

Strains lysogenic for phages SPβ WT, ΔaimR, ΔyopN, and ΔaimR-yopN were MC induced (0.5 μg/mL). The number of resulting phages were quantified using 168 Δ6 as the recipient strain. The results are represented as PFUs mL⁻¹. The means and SDs are presented (n = 5). An ordinary one-way ANOVA of transformed data was performed to compare mean differences between titers. Adjusted p values were as follows: SPβ WT versus SPβ ΔaimR ^∗∗∗∗p ≤ 0.0001; SPβ ΔyopN ns; SPβ ΔyopN ΔaimR ^∗∗p = 0.0010. SPβ ΔaimR versus SPβ ΔyopN ΔaimR ^∗p = 0.0351. See also Figures S2, S3, and S5.
