Strain classification by quantitative mass imaging. a Single-cell productivity distributions and concatenated non-linear fits for MTYL038₁₇ (fit: dF = 56, adj-R² = 0.99, red-x² = 1.71), MTYL038₅₂ (fit: dF = 56, adj-R² = 0.94, red-x² = 3.53), and MTYL038₁₂₄ (fit: dF = 56, adj-R² = 0.95, red-x² = 1.75). Bars and error-bars indicate the mean and standard-error between three biological replicates respectively, while gray arrows indicate the presence of overproducing MTYL038₁₂₄ subpopulations. In red, the 95% confidence band for each concatenated fit is shown. Strong evidence supported the temporal dependence of productivity at these timepoints (one-way ANOVA, F(2,6) = 116 and p < 0.001). b The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) and Euclidian-average distances of the [MTYL038₁₇–MTYL038₅₂] and [MTYL038₁₇–MTYL038₁₂₄] pairs. Bars and error-bars indicate the mean and standard-error between three biological replicates, respectively. Strong evidence supported that the Euclidean-average distances between pairs are different (paired-sample t-test, p = 0.02); no such evidence was observed for the KS distances (paired-sample t-test, p = 0.27).
