Table 2 A comparison of results from mixture models run on data derived from single burst assays (SBL) and a lysate derived from single plaques harvested from the SBL, allowing an opportunity for clones to express their genotypes without other strains in the cell

  1. *KRI300 and PT309 fail to produce hybrids with ϕ6-Fast1 in different ways: the KRI300 cross recovers both parental phenotypes and no intermediates, whereas ϕΗ2 recovers only its own parental phenotype at the expense of the ϕ6-Fast1 and hybrid phenotypes, confirming its advantage in coinfection.
