Death and population dynamics affect mutation rate estimates and evolvability under stress in bacteria
Fig 5
Population size reached after 24 h in treated and untreated conditions.
Each point corresponds to a fully independent biological replicate. For each of these biological replicates, average population size is estimated by plating appropriate dilutions of at least 6 replicate populations on nonselective medium. The dashed black line indicates the average size of the untreated populations. We performed an unpaired t test to estimate whether treated population sizes are significantly different than untreated ones (** p < 0.01). Underlying data have been uploaded to Zenodo (10.5281/zenodo.1211765).
