There was no difference in transformation frequency between isolates with pherotype 1 or non-pherotype 1 alleles (Mann-Whitney U test, p = 0.384); this difference becomes marginally significant if strains lacking any detectable transformation are excluded from this analysis (Mann-Whitney U test, p = 0.059).
