Fructose and 3-chlorobenzoate were used at 10 mM. GFP fluorescence intensity is given as cellular average gray value units of the 95th percentile of the population. Values in parentheses represent the 95% confidence intervals, calculated with the R software. MFV values are the arithmetic means of the cellular AGVs for the 5% of the population with the highest fluorescence intensities.
At 14 h, both fructose- and 3-chlorobenzoate-grown cultures were growing exponentially and entered the stationary phase after about 24 h of incubation.
