- PWTT = colony count of white with the predation assay that contained only purple Janthino. This was a control.
- WPTT = colony count of purple with the predation assay that contained only white Janthino. This was a control.
- WWTT = colony count of white with the predation assay that contained only white Janthino. This was a control.
- PWP = colony count of purple in the mixed predation assay.
- PWW = colony count of white in the mixed predation assay.
####Predation_07232015_WJB.csv
######Headings:
- PTT = ratio of purple to the total in the purple-only control.
- PW = ratio of purple to the total in the mixed, experimental cultures.

- PLBY = purple in LB with glycerol added.
- WLBY = white in LB with glycerol added.
- PLBYW = purple in LB with both glycerol and tryptophan added.
- WLBYW = white in LB with both glycerol and tryptophan added.
