Death and population dynamics affect mutation rate estimates and evolvability under stress in bacteria
Fig 7
Contribution of turnover to evolvability.
For each treatment, we plot the measured evolvability of the populations (red triangles, purple dots, and blue squares) and the estimate that was obtained if the same population size was attained without cell death and with the same mutation rate (violin plots, 100 replicate simulations for each biological replicate). The median of all simulations for a given treatment is represented as a horizontal bar. For each treatment, we performed an unpaired t test to test whether the evolvability with death is different than the evolvability without death (** p < 0.01). Underlying data have been uploaded to Zenodo (10.5281/zenodo.1211765).
