a CB-D growth dynamics of cultures superinfected with ɸ-A (open circles), ɸ-D (open triangles), compared with uninfected controls (closed squares). b CB-A growth dynamics of cultures superinfected with ɸ-D (open triangles), ɸ-A (open circles), compared with uninfected controls (closed squares). Phage gene copies c during superinfection of CB-D with ɸ-A as shown in panel A and d during superinfection of CB-A with ɸ-D as shown in panel B, ɸ-A gene copies (closed circles) and ɸ-D gene copies (closed inverted triangles). Phage gene qPCR data represent sum of intracellular and extracellular gene copies. Averages of biological triplicates are reported for all treatments; technical triplicates were run for all qPCR assays. Error bars denote standard deviations and are obscured by the data markers in some instances. Data for this experiment are provided in Tables S4–S7.
