a Growth dependency of GR-GFP in M9-glucose medium, b glucose consumption of GR-GFP host in M9-glucose medium. c transcription fold change of ATP-associated genes in glycolysis in GR-GFP host, d growth dependency of GR-GFP under sodium azide salt stress, e population comparison of M9 resultant batch. The overall cell physiology in GR-host were evaluated and showed that GR-GFP had an accelerated metabolism that reflected on its growth and with rapid intake of glucose. It was also noteworthy that GR-GFP was able to sustain the growth of E. coli in the presence of cytochrome c inhibitor, sodium azide, which proved GR-GFP could be an independent source of PMF for energy generation and cell survival
