Fig 6. Improved spray devices allow more homogenous application of solutions.

Fig 6

(A) A commercial spray gun is connected to a laser pointer to allow more reproducible aiming and application of solutions to bacterial colonies. (B) The improved spray protocol reduces variability in ΔR/R of bacterial colonies expressing the FRET calcium sensor Twitch-3. The position of each colony on a plate is indicated by a circle. The recorded ΔR/R value is represented by the diameter of the circle. Note that there is a gradient of ΔR/R values when moving from the center to the periphery.
