Biased partitioning of the multi-drug efflux pump AcrAB-TolC underlies long-lived phenotypic heterogeneity

This repository contains the data collected for the manuscript "Biased partitioning of the multi-drug efflux pump AcrAB-TolC underlies long-lived phenotypic heterogeneity". The data is compressed into a single archive. Within the archive, different folders correspond to figures of the main text and the SI of the related publication. Data is saved as plain text, with each folder containing a separate readme file describing the format. Typically, the data is from fluorescence microscopy measurements of single cells growing in a microfluidic "mother machine" device, and consists of relevant values (primarily arbitrary unit or normalized fluorescence measurements, and division times / growth rates) after raw microscopy images have been processed, segmented, and their features extracted, as described in the methods section of the related publication.

本仓库包含为学术论文《多药外排泵AcrAB-TolC的偏倚分配是表型异质性长期维持的基础》所采集的数据集。所有数据已压缩为单个归档文件。归档内的不同文件夹分别对应相关论文正文及补充材料（Supplementary Information，简称SI）的配图数据。数据以纯文本格式存储，每个文件夹均附带独立的自述文件，用以说明对应数据的格式规范。该数据集通常源自微流控“母机”（mother machine）装置中培养的单细胞荧光显微镜测量结果：在对原始显微镜图像完成处理、分割并提取特征后，可得到各类相关数值，主要包括任意单位或标准化荧光测量值、细胞分裂时长与生长速率，具体实验与数据处理流程详见相关论文的方法章节。
