Competitions were performed between NC80.1 (a, c) or NC85.2 (b, d) with AX2-GFP at a starting ratio of 1:1 on plates containing varying proportions of either E. coli with K. pneumonia (A & B) or K. aerogenes with K. pneumonia (c, d). Cells were allowed to grow together in competition for 48 h (~10 generations of growth). The relative frequency of each strain was quantified at the start and endpoints of the competition by flow cytometry. Individual data points (black circles) represent mean values and the shaded area is the standard error from two independent experimental blocks. Source data are provided in the Source Data file.
