  1. Different unique mutations in the same gene or allele were identified in different clones across the different experiments. The mutations were categorized as ‘combined’, i.e., identified in both strains, or ‘strain-specific’. B and E denotes [C4C1Im]Cl and [C2C1Im][OAc] IL, respectively, where MG denotes K-12 MG1655 strain
