Fitness (selection rate constant) of P. fluorescens SBW25 in different selective environments: in sterile potting soil and in potting soil with the microbial community. Each bar represents the bacterial growth rate of the different evolved clones (A: in the absence, and B: in the presence of the microbial community) related to the ancestral after 5 days competition calculated by the difference in the estimated Malthusian parameter (m). Each competition assay was performed with three replicates. Positive values indicate higher relative fitness of the evolved bacteria as compared with the ancestor.
