a

Normal growth conditions were used, except for measurements after rifampin (Rif) treatment as noted.

b

Mean diffusion coefficient estimated from first two points of MSD plot (Fig. 2).

c

Best-fit fractional population of the more slowly diffusing state. The fractional population of the more rapidly diffusing state is ffast = 1 – fslow.

d

C terminus labeled with mEos2.

e

30S subunits labeled by expression of the ribosomal protein S2-mEos2.
