Fig. 2

a Phage titres (pfu/ml) over time following infection of WT bacteria with a genetically diverse or a derived clonal phage population. Each line represents a single replicate. b The average proportion of cells at 3 dpi that evolved CRISPR-based immunity (purple), surface modification (sm)-based resistance (orange), or that remained sensitive (green) and c the average number of spacers acquired by each CRISPR clone in response to infection with clonal (blue) or diverse (purple) phage. All graphs show averages and error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Individual data points are indicated with dots, and numbers next to the dots indicate the number of replicates in which the same value was observed.
