Figure 4From: Motility is required for the competitive fitness of entomopathogenic Photorhabdus luminescens during insect infectionCompetition assays on agar plates. Equal numbers of A) TT01 and BMM800 (ΔflgG) and B) TT01 and BMM802 (ΔmotAB) were mixed and inoculated onto each of 5 lipid agar plates. The proportion (%) of motile:non-motile bacteria was determined in the initial mixture before inoculation and this is reported as Day 0. At the other time points the proportion of motile:non-motile bacteria was determined on each of the 5 individual plates. The results shown are the mean ± SD of 3 experiments.Back to article page
