|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T2b | T3 | T4 | T5 | T6 | |
| BR151 (parent) | 2.5 | 27.2 | 43 | 38.8 | 22.5 |

| SL7609 (recF::spc) | 1.1 | 14.4 | 27.8 | 32.4 | 22.3 |
a
The results shown are combined data from two independent experiments. A minimum of 500 cells were scored per time point per strain.
b
T, time in hours after the end of exponential growth.
