Method | Cell measurements and analyses were performed with Image Pro Plus version 3.01 software (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, Md.). Cell diameters of individual cells were calculated by measuring the cross-sectional area and dividing that value by the cell length. |
Comments | The derived diameters of 92% of untreated wild-type E. coli CS109 cells clustered between 1.0 and 1.1 µm (Fig. 3A) |
