Additional file 28: of Assessing the benefits of horizontal gene transfer by laboratory evolution and genome sequencing

Figure S3. No growth of donors and recipients in media used for experimental evolution. Mean growth (circles (donor) and squares (recipients); bars extend to one standard deviation above or below mean; measured as the groeth rate) after 48-h of potential donors (top panels) and recipients (bottom panels, Additional file 1: Table S1) in four growth conditions (0.2% HPA, 0.2% butyric, 0.2% glucose, 0.2% glucose and 50 μg/ml tryptophan) for K12 (blue), B (green) and W (orange) strain background. We only measured and report growth of the recipient strain (K) and the three donor (Fig. 1) used in the HPA-adaptation experiment on 0.2% HPA. Likewise, we only measured growth of the recipient strain (W) and the three donor used (Fig. 1) for the butyric acid experiment in 0.2% butyric acid. The horizontal line indicates zero growth. A summary of ancestral growth parameters is given in Additional file 34: Table S10. (EPS 51 kb
