a, b Conjugation scores for the mating in broth (a) and on solid media (b) were transformed into Z scores and are represented according to the gene position on the chromosome. c Venn diagram representing the genes decreasing the efficiency of the conjugation (Z scores < −1.96) in broth (dark blue) or on a solid support (light blue). d In this assay, 82 genes decreased the efficiency of the conjugation in broth (Z scores < −1.96); Z scores in broth (dark blue) and on solid (light blue) for these 82 genes are plotted according to the scores for the matings in broth e, gene ontology terms enriched for genes deletions affected when conjugation is performed in broth compared to a solid medium are associated with LPS biosynthesis.
