A) Growth of Donor (solid circles) and Recipients + Transconjugants (hollow circles) during the first hour of mating in conjugation experiments of R388 (black, right) and pKM101 (red, left) carrying cells at 1:10,000 D:R ratios as detailed in Fig 2A
ANOVA testing comparing the four populations at 0 and 60 minutes after mating began gave p > 0.05 in all but R388 Recipients’ growth. B) Growth curves for donor and recipients in matings using plasmid R388 (black circles, upper graph) and pKM101 (red circles, lower graph) fitting showed that doubling times were >60 minutes for all strains analyzed.
