Biofilm Data

Biofilm Data.csv, Data description: Data used to create Figure 3: Biofilm production of evolved strains. Results show the average biofilm production of 6 isolates evolved in each experimental environment, relative to the ancestral strain from which all evolved strains were derived. Data was collected in the laboratory using a crystal violet staining method. Columns correspond to: Strain Replicate: the name allocated to each of the replicate lines, e.g. H1 corresponds to replicate line 1 evolved on hard agar. Bioflim Replicate: The biofilm production was measured independently eight times in order to provide replicates. This value was averaged in statistical analysis. Agar Type on which Strain was Evolved: Strains were either evolved in hard or liquid agar. Biofilm Relative to Ancestor: Vmax of evolved strain under each treatment group was divided by Vmax of ancestral strain under the same treatment to give a relative measurement of area dispersed. Averaged Biofilm Replicates: Replicate relative biofilm measurements were averaged. Selection Type: Strains were either under positive or neutral artificial selection for dispersal.
