Figure 10From: Developmental plasticity of bacterial colonies and consortia in germ-free and gnotobiotic settingsGrowth of chimeras. a F/Fw b R/W c R/Ec, and d R/Fw chimera. Chimeras are either dropped, (a-d, i), or are spread to diameter of 5 (ii) or 14 mm (iii). Note the consortium in the planting area, with clonal outgrowths of both clones in case of R/W, or of the R clone only in case of R/Fw chimera.Back to article page
