The analysis with the millifluidic lineage tracking machine was performed after dilution in fresh LB medium (Sigma-Aldrich) to obtain, an average number of cell per drop λ ≈ 0.5. Drops were incubated and measured at 37°C as described in [12 (link), 13 (link)]. The fluorescence was measured using a photomultiplier (Hamamatsu) and a YFP filter set (479/40nm excitation and 530/40nm emission, Thorlabs) and an LED source (490nm, Thorlabs). In order to compare experiments, the data were normalized according to a reference measurement on the ancestral population.
