Table 1. Different VBNC subpopulations and morphologies of cells identified by IFC analysis compared to T0 population of cells.

Cell lengths and cell widths are the size with standard deviation.

Population	Morphology	Number of cells	Fraction of VBNC population	Cell length (μm)	Cell width (μm)
T0	Small rods	10992	-	1.26 ± 0.1	1.00 ± 0.04
P1	Small coccoid	8434	89.4%	1.31 ± 0.18	1.07 ± 0.17
P2	Large coccoid	950	10.07%	6.34 ± 1.10	4.30 ± 0.48
P2	Filaments	50	0.53%	2.69 ± 0.60	1.51 ± 0.45
