Fig. 5: Impact of orf38 and orf36.1 deletions on conjugation frequency.
From: Genetic determinants of pOXA-48 plasmid maintenance and propagation in Escherichia coli
Histograms showing the frequency of transfer after 4 h of mating for the wild-type (wt), orf38 and orf36.1 deletion mutants, as well as their complementation with pOrf38 and pOrf36.1 plasmids producing respectively Orf38 and Orf36.1. Data are represented as mean and SD from (n) independent experiments (white circles). p-value significance from Kruskal-Wallis test corrected with Dunn’s multiple comparisons test is indicated by ns (not significant), * (p = 0.023, pOrf38; p = 0.0461, orf36.1), ** (p = 0.0013). # indicates two replicates with a detection limit of transconjugants below 10−8. Donors LY1844, LY3303, LY3697, LY3739, LY3747; Recipient LY945.
