Amplification with alternative engineering. Amplification on the capsulated host of T7E2 (blue circles), for comparison to T70 (black diamonds). T7E2 shows lower amplification except at the highest initial concentration. Paired assays of T70 and T7E2 were done on the same plates, so the difference is not attributable to plate-plate variation. Data for T70 are the same as in Figure 5. Host was EV36 with M9 glucose media. Tests were performed between the pairs of T70 and T7E2 samples most similar in initial density; all differences are statistically significant. Bars span two standard errors.
