Fig. 3: Virus genome fold change after induction using various physical, chemical and biological agents.
From: Stable coexistence between an archaeal virus and the dominant methanogen of the human gut
Fold change was determined by quantifying the number of free virus genome copies at 4, 8 and 16 h post induction (hpi) relative to the number of free virus genome copies at time zero. Error bars denote the standard deviation from three independent measurements. Data are presented as mean values. Stars indicate the significance levels based on the two-tailed t-test: *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01. The significant p-values are the following: incubation at 30 °C at 16 hpi: 0.0450; colon content of germ-free mice (GFM) at 4 and 8 hpi: 0.0484 and 0.0470, respectively; mixture of bile acids 0.2% at 4, 8 and 16 hpi: 0.0229, 0.0256 and 0.0255, respectively.
