Single cell level physiology for the triple reporter strains E. coli G7BL21(DE3) (a) and E. coli G5 T7E2 (b) following batch cultures in stirred-tank bioreactors with minimal medium (T = 37 °C, pH = 6.8, initial glucose concentration 20 g L−1). Fluorescence distributions (lower subplots) and mean fluorescence characteristics (upper subplots) for the general stress response of single cells related to rpoS-mStrawberry expression is depicted together with substrate availability. All values are shown as average of triplicate measurements following the batch. Grey areas mark the exponential growth phases of the different strains
