Fitness of P4 and the P4 cinR cinI cinX mutant in the tomato rhizosphere. Cell densities (CFU/g of soil) of strains P4RifNC and P4RifRIX inoculated simultaneously on tomato plants cultivated in an unsterilized horticultural soil were assessed by dilution and plating onto the appropriate media (see Methods). Panel a: cell density of both co-inoculated P4RifNC and P4RifRIX. Panel b: ratio of the cell densities of each strain. At each time point (but not between time points), the values generated by the 3 repeats were statistically analyzed by a Mann and Whitney non parametric test which indicated that the proportion of the cell densities of the two strains were not statistically different (p-values > 0.05)
