Attachment efficiency and subsequent genomic analysis of parental and progeny recombinant strains. Panel A: Measurement of the attachment efficiency for parental and recombinant strains. The specific strains analyzed are represented on the x-axis (center of figure), and the percent attachment efficiency is represented on the y-axis. Dark gray bars represent parental strains, and light gray bars represent recombinant strains. Panel B: The genotype of each strain for the 9 pmp genes and 3 other genes previously discussed as being associated with attachment are shown below each strain in graph. The colored boxes indicate the parental genotype of each gene, as indicated at the bottom of the figure. The pmp genes that are associated with attachment efficiency are indicated in bold. Boxes containing two colors indicate that a crossover event occurred within the gene in this strain.
