Figure 4: T6SS is associated with investment in other secreted products.

Figure 4

The phylogenetic distribution of T6SS, T6SS effectors and secretome size across 439 genomes from the Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (a). Secretome size of a strain (expressed as a percentage of genome size) increases with both its number of T6SSs (b) and T6SS effectors (c). Lines are the fits of univariate Bayesian phylogenetic mixed models (BPMMs) (Supplementary Tables 3 and 4). Posterior distributions of the effects of the numbers of T6SS (d) and T6SS effectors (e) on secretome size from the multivariate BPMM (Supplementary Table 2). Ninety-five per cent credible intervals of the estimates are shaded. Plot of observed against predicted secretome size from the multivariate BPMM (f), including effects of the number of T6SS, number of T6SS effectors and phylogeny. The line represents a 1:1 mapping.
