Data from: A link between aging and persistence

This dataset was used to establish a connection between two phenomena
related to phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria: antibiotic persistence
and aging. It contains physiological measurements of Escherichia
coli cells growing within microfluidic devices, in either exponential or
stationary phase. Populations growing exponentially were subjected to
damaging treatments, either through photo-oxidation of sub-inhibitory
Streptomycin concentrations, or to persistence triggering via Tetracycline
exposure. Only the latter treatment produced persisters during exponential
phase. Data from stationary phase populations includes the transition from
exponential to stationary phase, showing that cells inheriting old poles
arrest growth earlier than those inheriting new poles.
