(A to E) Images taken from a time lapse microscopy movie showing a growing, GFP-producing microcolony of B. megaterium carrying the pSSBm85 plasmid. Time points are 120 (A), 150 (B), 180 (C), 210 (D), and 260 (E) min after the induction of gene expression by the addition of xylose. Each producer cell (P) generated daughter cells: a producer cell and a less productive cell (L). (F) The resulting cell lineage tree schematically shows a lineage of highly productive cells.
