Fig 6. Experimental estimates for cross-species and within-species conjugation rates.
Each box summarizes 6 replicate estimates by the LDM, SIM, or truncated SIM approach, where each data point corresponds to a replicate. We note each of these estimates involved a correction (see Materials and methods), but the same patterns hold for uncorrected values. (A) Compares the LDM and standard SIM approach for a cross-species mating (between K. pneumoniae and E. coli). (B) Compares the cross- and within-species mating using the LDM approach. (C) Compares the standard and truncated SIM approach for a cross-species mating. (D) Compares the LDM and truncated SIM approach for a within-species mating. The asterisks indicate statistical significance by a t test (1 and 4 asterisks convey p-values in the following ranges: 0.01 < p < 0.05 and p < 0.0001, respectively).
