Figure 3

Mycobacterial phenotype network (MPN) of the 27 mycobacteria. The number of mycobacteria belonging to the phenotype is given in brackets after each name of a phenotype node (blue ellipse). In the MPN, the node shapes of the 27 mycobacterial strains were represented based on the 9-phenotype classification as explained in the text: diamond, FL; hexagon, PAH-degrading; octagon, Non-pathogenic; parallelogram, Fast-growing; rectangle, FHA; triangle, PAH-non-degrading; round rectangle, Pathogenic; v, Slow-growing; ellipse, OI. Together with the numerical connection strength score (in red), the thickness of the connection lines (edge, blue) among the phenotypes indicates the degree of the connection strength. In the MPN, the phenotypes FL and Non-pathogenic show the highest connection strength [CS (Gx, Gy), 100], while Fast-growing (8)—Pathogenic (20), Fast-growing (8)—FHA (18), FL (7)—PAH-non-degrading (21), and Non-pathogenic (7)—PAH-non-degrading (21) show weak connection strength [8.8 < CS (Gx, Gy) < 9.5].
