zebra_bacteria dataset

Data on bacterial adaptation to host gut environments.

Data from a study on bacterial adaptation to host gut environments. These data are measures of the competitive ability a bacterium called Aeromonas veronii after either 4 or 18 passages through the gut of an otherwise germ-free larval zebrafish. data

data("zebra_bacteria")

Format

A data frame with 208 observations on the following 4 variables.

• Line: Which of three lines
• Host: Wild type (WT) or an immunodeficient myd88- mutant
• Passage: Number of passages
• CI: Competitive index
