Overview of significant loci identified for E. coli BW25113 grown with 4% glucose, and during competition with P. aeruginosa PA14 with and without 4% glucose. A Venn diagram containing names of all significant genes (− 1 > log₂FC > 1; q < 0.01) under each condition. Red gene names indicate those for which transposon insertions within the coding region reduced competitive fitness (negative log₂FC). Underlined genes are involved in central carbon metabolism. Three unnamed short repeat regions were identified in the no glucose condition, which are represented by the range of their base pair position in the genome. B Number of significant genetic loci for each of the important gene functions identified for each condition
