    Hypothesis and experiment system (A) We hypothesize that vertical and horizontal gene transfer (VGT and HGT) are influenced by the characteristics of the potential recipient cell types and determine the proliferation and diversity of transconjugant cells. Because the potential recipient community comprises multiple cell types with varying growth traits and conjugation probabilities, we expect the resulting composition of transconjugant cells to be shaped by these cell type-specific traits.

    Transconjugant proportions and diversities after surface-associated conjugation assays for different environmental conditions (A) Proportion of transconjugant cells relative to total cells after surface-associated conjugation assays using the WWTP community as the potential recipient cell population. We conducted conjugation assays on 1×SWW, 10×SWW, or LB agar plates using E . coli MG1655 lacI q -pLpp-mCherry as the pB10 donor strain. (B) Relative abundances of bacterial class in the total potential recipient cell population (T) and the transconjugant cell population (TC) as identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We separated and identified TC cells using FC-FACS-sorting of GFP-positive cells. (C) Normalized Shannon index of the transconjugant populations after surface-associated conjugation assays on 1×SWW, 10×SWW, or LB agar plates. We normalized the Shannon index of the TC populations to their corresponding T populations. (D) Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) based on weighted UniFrac distances of T and TC populations after surface-associated conjugation assays on 1×SWW, 10×SWW, or LB agar plates. (E) Phylogenetic tree of transconjugant ASVs detected after surface-associated conjugation assays on 1×SWW, 10×SWW, or LB agar plates. The outer colored box denotes the bacterial phylum of each ASV, corresponding to the phylum-level groupings shown in panel (B). The inner heatmap box aligned with each tip shows the log 10 fold-changes in ASV abundance (TC relative to T) across the three conditions. For (A and C), each point is an independent biological replicate ( n = 3), horizontal bars are the means, error bars are ±1 standard deviation, and asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between the means based on two-way ANOVA with Holm correction (∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001, ns = not significant). For (D), each point is an independent biological replicate ( n = 3).

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Transconjugant proportions and diversities after surface-associated conjugation assays for different environmental conditions (A) Proportion of transconjugant cells relative to total cells after surface-associated conjugation assays using the WWTP community as the potential recipient cell population. We conducted conjugation assays on 1×SWW, 10×SWW, or LB agar plates using E . coli MG1655 lacI q -pLpp-mCherry as the pB10 donor strain. (B) Relative abundances of bacterial class in the total potential recipient cell population (T) and the transconjugant cell population (TC) as identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We separated and identified TC cells using FC-FACS-sorting of GFP-positive cells. (C) Normalized Shannon index of the transconjugant populations after surface-associated conjugation assays on 1×SWW, 10×SWW, or LB agar plates. We normalized the Shannon index of the TC populations to their corresponding T populations. (D) Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) based on weighted UniFrac distances of T and TC populations after surface-associated conjugation assays on 1×SWW, 10×SWW, or LB agar plates. (E) Phylogenetic tree of transconjugant ASVs detected after surface-associated conjugation assays on 1×SWW, 10×SWW, or LB agar plates.

    Transconjugant growth during surface-associated conjugation assays for different environmental conditions (A) Representative fluorescence microscopy images of transconjugant cells during surface-associated conjugation assays on LB agar plates. E . coli MG1655 lacI q -pLpp-mCherry is the pB10 donor strain and show red fluorescence. Transconjugant cells are green. The time indicated in the images refers to the point at which transconjugant cells first became detectable. (B) Normalized microcolony area ( A / a 0 ) plotted as a function of time during the surface-associated conjugation assays on LB agar plates. A is the total microcolony area and a 0 is the initial transconjugant area. Connected data points are for individual colonies ( n = 12). (C) Microcolony area at the endpoint of the mating assay (t = 24 h) for different environmental conditions. The half-violin and scatterplots present the sample distribution and individual microcolony measurements for surface-associated conjugation assays on different medium (n 1xSWW = 880, n 10xSWW = 664, n LB = 1,070, for microcolony number). We performed each experiment at least three independent experiments. Horizontal bars are the mean microcolony areas, error bars are the 99% confidence intervals, and asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between the means based on two-way ANOVA with Holm correction (∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001, ns = not significant).
