Bacterial growth in LB batch cultures (in vitro). (a) Bacterial growth measured as bacterial counts (log10 CFU/ml), ori:terqPCR and ori:termic. ATCC 25922 and ALO 4783 were tested in parallel and showed similar growth; hence, results from both strains are pooled in the data sets. Bland-Altman agreement between ori:terqPCR and ori:termic was good (Supplementary Fig. S1). 6 h, n = 12; all other time points, n = 6. (b) Comparisons of ATCC 25922 and ALO 4783 grown in LB batch cultures (in vitro) revealed no growth retardation due to transgene insertions. Growth measured as OD600. Both strains exerted doubling times of 25 minutes during exponential growth. (c) Bacterial cell length (µm) (used as proxy for cell mass) correlate with oriC/cell. Data represent pooled microscopically detected cells (ALO 4783). n = 500 at all time points, with the exception of 2 h, where n = 147. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Dotted line represents the limit of detection for bacterial count measurements. Time (h) represents hours of incubation; inoculum is presented as 0 h. r: Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
