Abstract

To quantitatively assay the growth behaviour of single cells, a shallow microchamber-structured microfluidic device was used to monolayer-culture Escherichia coli at limited glucose concentrations. The growth of wild type and mutant strains showed contrasting dependence on glucose in both the average individual growth rate (μ) and lag time (λ) values. The μ-λ, distributions were broadened at lower glucose concentration and the mutant showed reduced average μ, and increased λ values compared with the progenitor, regardless of glucose concentration. These results highlighted the heterogeneity of the population at the single cell level and illustrate that crucial knowledge can be overlooked by conventional methods.
