Extended Data Fig. 4: No effect of plasmid mobility on the difference in plasmid and chromosome proportion of genes coding for extracellular proteins.

From: Plasmids do not consistently stabilize cooperation across bacteria but may promote broad pathogen host-range

Extended Data Fig. 4

The x-axis is the % of a species’ plasmids which are conjugative or mobilizable. The y-axis shows the difference in the plasmid and chromosome proportions of genes coding for extracellular proteins, as in Fig. 2. Each dot is the mean for all genomes in a species. Species in blue are those with genes coding for extracellular proteins over-represented on plasmids, while species in red have genes coding for extracellular proteins over-represented on chromosomes.
