Table 4 Effect of an incubation on ice on the survival of complementing diploids KmR GmR a formed after a Z-mating between MG405 and MG406 (MI) or MG406 and MG409 (MII)
From: Selection and evolution of mating products after spontaneous zygogenesis in Escherichia coli K-12
Exposure to KG | Total CFU mL-1 (Nt)b | S rate (Nt/Noc) | Ratio of S rates M+ vs. M− | Frequency of mixed KmR/GmR CFU among survivors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
MI− MI+ | 2.8 ± 0.7 × 106 7.9 ± 3.8 × 101 | 5.5 × 10−1 1.55 × 10−5 | 2.8 × 10−5 | 6.9 × 10−2 4.8 × 10−1 |
MII− MII+ | 4.6 ± 1.4 × 107 7.2 ± 5.9 × 102 | 1.8 × 101 2.8 × 10−4 | 1.55 × 10−5 | 2.4 × 10−1 6.9 × 10−1 |
