Fig. 6: Detection of korormicin gene copies over time after inoculation with Pseudoalteromonas McH1-7.

Points show the mean copy number per ng of DNA of the Kor23 gene from triplicate reactions of ddPCR and the standard error is shown by the error bars. “Pre” indicates samples taken before inoculation with the probiotic strain McH1-7. “Post” indicates samples taken one hour after inoculation in water samples only. Each M. cavernosa genotype was cut into six fragments prior to the experiment and one fragment was sacrificed at each time for genetic analysis. Note the difference in the y-axis scales, as higher copy numbers were detected in the water compared to tissue samples.
