C. crescentus cells were grown up to exponential phase (OD660nm < 0.3) and spotted on 0.3% agarose pads containing M2G medium, unless specified otherwise. Microscopy was performed on an Eclipse 80i microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a phase-contrast objective Plan Apochromat 100×/1.40 NA (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan), an Orca-II-ER (Hamamatsu Photonics, Hamamatsu City, Japan) and an Andor iXon DU-897E camera (Andor Technology Ltd., Belfast, UK) with 2× optivar. Images were acquired every 2.5 min using MetaMorph software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). For still images of E. coli strains, cells were grown at 30°C up to exponential phase (OD600nm<0.3) and spotted on 1% agarose pads. For microfluidic experiments, E. coli cells were loaded and grown for at least 5 generations in the microfluidic device prior to imaging. Microscopy was performed on an Eclipse Ti-E microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with Perfect Focus System (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) and an Orca-R2 camera (Hamamatsu Photonics, Hamamatsu City, Japan) and a phase-contrast objective Plan Apochromat 100×/1.45 NA (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Time-lapse images were acquired every 5 sec using NIS-Element Ar software (Nikon Instruments INC., Melville, NY USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
