FIGURE 2.

Bacterial suppression due to phage treatments. Panel (a): Experiment 1, comparison of λanc, λegen, and cocktail treatments. Lines and shapes represent replicates (3, 3, and 6 flasks for λanc, λegen, and cocktail, respectively). Panel (b): Experiment 2, comparison of λegen and cocktail treatments. Median bacterial titer is emboldened and trajectories of replicate flasks are translucent (10 and 11 flasks for λegen and cocktail, respectively). Mann–Whitney U‐tests were used to compare bacterial titer between treatments for each day. No significant differences were found (α = 0.05, “ns” indicated above days). Panels (a) and (b): λanc, λegen, and cocktail are colored black, gold, and purple, respectively. Dashed line and gray shading indicate the limit of detection (10 CFU/ml). Lines that drop below the limit of detection and do not reemerge indicate that bacterial populations were driven extinct.
