Fig. 4. (A) Determination of the relative growth rates of Dd-STATb- and Dd-STATb+
cells. A co-cultivation experiment, with three cycles, was performed using a
mixture of Dd-STATb- and Dd-STATb+ cells that were derived from a single
transformation with the Dd-STATb disruption construct (see text). The cells
were allowed to grow to saturation (
2x107/ml) and then
diluted 1 in 100 for regrowth. (B) A compilation of five co-cultivation
experiments. The first (top) experiment is that described in A and the other
four experiments were performed in the same way. Although the rate of loss of
the null cells was variable, the outcome was reproducible; the random
integrant cells always came to dominate the population.
