Figure 4From: Physiological heterogeneities in microbial populations and implications for physical stress toleranceInverse correlation between growth and cell membrane robustness. Mean GFP level of the whole population prior to freeze-thaw stress (empty symbols) as a function of the percentage of PI negative cells after freeze-thaw stress; and the mean GFP of the PI negative cells after freeze-thaw stress (full symbols) as a function of the percentage of PI negative cells after freeze-thaw stress. a These outlying data points are from the first sample of aerobic batch cultivation.Back to article page
