For all plots, growth conditions are: M9‐glycerol (blue), M9‐glucose (green), and M9‐glucose+amino‐acids (red). Points (dots WT strain, 6‐points‐stars SOS‐off,
lexA3 background, 4‐point‐stars, autofluorescence) represent the average and bars the standard error from at least three biological repeats.
Average GFP intensity from SOS reporter PsulA‐mGFP for the bottom 99% of the population in different growth conditions. Inset: average GFP intensity in different growth conditions where SOS is de‐repressed.
Average GFP intensity from SOS reporter PsulA‐mGFP for the top 1% of the population in different growth conditions. Inset: average GFP intensity in different growth conditions where SOS is de‐repressed.
Average mKate2 intensity from constitutive reporter PtetO‐mKate2 for the bottom 99% of the population in different growth conditions.
