a Virus-mediated bacterial mortality. b Burst size of lytic viral production. c Fraction of lysogenic bacterial cells. d Burst size of lysogenic viral production. Error bars indicate the standard deviations calculated from all measurements in control or in transplantation experiments. BS burst size, VP viral production; ns, no significant difference; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
