Supplementary notes and figures, detailed description of all tables in the Additional data files and a table. Table S5: Correlation (P value) versus duplication time in random environments. Figure S1: Distribution of the correlations between doubling time and ESI and maximal-CHS in random samples of species selected in a way that allows equal number of representatives for each ecological habitat. Figure S2: Distribution of the correlations between doubling time and ESI and maximal-CHS in random samples of species selected in a way that allows a single representative for each taxonomic group. Figure S3: The distribution of Pearson correlation coefficients of the ESI values with randomized maximal CHS values. Figure S4: General distribution of species/environment in 3 different sets of environments (original and random). Figure S5: Mean maximal CHS levels of bacteria of a given life style. Figure S6: The distribution of log doubling time of the 113 species studied. Figure S7: The mean and standard deviation of the recoever operating characteristics (ROC) curve obtained in 50 cross validation experiments.
