Correlation between bacterial growth rate and effective population size. a. Correlation between estimates of Ne based on dS/dN (as presented in Fig. 1) and growth rates (Spearman’s rho = − 0.38, P < 10− 4, PIC correction). b. Correlation between absolute estimates of Ne and growth rates (Spearman’s rho = − 0.59, P = 0.08). Growth rates were defined as reported minimal doubling times (Additional file 19: Table S5)
