Bar Plot from Scientific Research

Overnight cultures of mNeon-Green-labeled H99 and the indicated unlabeled strains were combined at a 1:1 ratio in RPMI 1640 medium with 165 mM MOPS (pH 7) and incubated at 37°C for 24 h in ambient air or with 5% CO2. Cell populations were characterized by flow cytometry, and the percentage of mNeonGreen-negative cells in 5% CO2was normalized to that in ambient conditions to determine a competitive fitness score for each strain as indicated. Bars indicate mean of three biological replicates ± SD. Differences were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple-comparisons test.*indicates comparison to H99 orpdr9Δ; + indicates comparison toAVC1OE(++p< 0.01,***p< 0.001,****/++++p< 0.0001).
