Resistant Traits in Digital Organisms Do Not Revert Preselection Status despite Extended Deselection: Implications to Microbial Antibiotics Resistance

Figure 4

Average population fitness score for 200 generations of reintroduction of selective pressure. Reintroduction of selective pressure was carried out from deselection experiment (generation 5200 in Experiment 3). This is compared to initial introduction of selection to a native population (Experiment 1) and paired -test is performed between the generation-matched average fitness of initial introduction (generation 1 to 200) and reintroduction (generation 5201 to 5400) for both TS and FPS.
